I first picked up ET (now ETFC) years ago when it had another financial downturn. The price at that time was floating between 3.50 and 4.50. I sold CC on her all the way up to nine dollars when I was called out. She continued up to 15 before the current downturn. Time to jump back in (under 4) and start selling CC again. This is not an overnight success story unless you play options or are a day trader, great vol. right now.


Update 05/03:

Warren Buffet made a very wise comment today (May 3) to his share holders) "Think small" returns. ET has broken four dollars. $4.25 was close as of 50208. As I suggested earlier it was a buy under four. I have decided to sell half my holdings in ET for a quick (under 4 week) profit of 25%. I will sell cc on the other half depending on the May 16 report. No dividends but options and a great growth potential. Crammer himself says to always take some of the profit off the table. I am scanning my listof plays but am not buying any at this point. I will wait for the next sell off which will come. It always does.

yeah, definitely a nice volume mover. You can play them around this price for as long as the financial sector is turning about.
