CIT got bought it's up a whopping 25%. Back when I had a clothing store in NYC we used CIT to get 30 days on goods & there was someone else who did this... Who was it?
Thats a great story.That is pretty cool. My mom came from her father who was a stock shark. Way back in the day he and his partner set up shop in the local brokerage in Long Island and spent the day reading actual ticker tape. Mom loved stocks. And she loved me to research them for her. At some point two things were going on at once-- she had come down with her first bout of breast cancer & I had brought her this little biotech called Entremed. It was led by a charismatic front man Dr and this was a fault of my mom's she fell in and out of love with these Dr's at a rapid rate. You basically told her what she wanted to hear-- the system was against her-- or she moved on.
Well I think they got profiled on 60 minutes.. I can't remember what the spark was.. maybe it was a PR about a cure of some sort and the stk took off the way stocks could back in the go go internet days. At this exact time my Mom was in the Hospital to get breast removal surgery. I called her and I wished her luck and then I said you won't believe this Entremed ENMD it was going crazy and then like seventy rapid fire questions came in a row how high how high will it go what should we do?? Relax Mom relax I'll use my judgement... long pause... Ok.
Well this stock it just keeps going I shit you not it went from like $7 to $200! It didn't stop. At that exact moment Mom was wheeled in a gurney into surgery and was half asleep when she raised her arm and said famously " SELL "
You have to know my mom and her unending belief in the possibility of scoring big to know how
hard it was for her to reach that conclusion.
And sell I did. It was probably the only time in my life I caught a lightning stock that crashed in the next few days but I got us out.

Stoney,That poor kid that invested in the cruise ships he was supposed to give us an on the scene review... maybe you could find one in your hood Van...
