    Impressive, GS says they will buy less shares than previously announced and will pull access to $1B credit line and the stock rises. FMD says it doesn't need the CL, also positive. Price action tells the story here, clearly a lot of demand for the stcok at this level.

    Correction GS didn't pull the line, it expired without FMD taking advantage of it, in other words very bullish.

    take advantage of the high vol and sell the Bull put spread reducing your cost basis by the net credit. ie buy the stock at 4.04 and with the net credit you own it at 2.80 ish. Once the vol dies down (if it does as for all I know this thing keeps getting bought) roll the stock in to the now much cheaper 5 or 7.5 Jan 09 calls.

  3. FMD turned down a 1 billion warehouse facility offered by Goldman. Goldman is obligated to purchase 200 million $$$ worth of additional shares of FMD, TERI is still on the hook for any defaults on student loans (5.5% to 7.4%), as are client banks that have purchased the loans (Bank of America, Citizens Bank).

    FMD is not obligated on any loans, period.

    I may do exactly what you said, MVIC; sell puts and buy calls. I am very disgusted my limit order didn't get filled.

  4. I'm still holding here. One of the worst plays I made lately. Down $1800 at 4.05. May just eat it....better than the $2800 this morning.

    I may sink or swim with it I don't know. I don't feel like putting another dime in it. If I sell here, probably shoots up:(

    Not the news pump I needed.


    Really sucks when you have a play on a stock, everything rallies including shit stocks

  7. You said you were down -2800 at one point.. that's a pounding?

    Do people at elitetrader seriously trade with such small size that -2800 is something to even sniff at?

    percentage-wise what would you call a $5.00 hitting $3.12?? freak....."a tickle in the tummy" or an "ass pounding" :p

    and my prediction to pump and super mc dump is up 10 cents on the close..peace
