Dumped Ambac Financial Group Shares
filed in My Investments on Apr.13, 2010
24 hours ago, I was looking long and perhaps greedy in trying to squeeze every drop from (ABK). When the markets opened today, I was on cloud nine was the stock was strongly over $3/share ($3.39 to be exact) before the fun stopped.
Profit taking, and a note from JP Morgan began to take center stage and although I was willing to walk away with a 100% profit, why would I not get out now when I see the knife falling? As soon as I was able to get to a computer, I started to dump my shares and managed to get out before the stock took a serious swing towards the red.
(ABK) it seems, according to the JP Morgan note, still has a lot of negative qualities (read this article)
Summary:
Bought: 4700 shares @ $0.66
Sold: 4700 shares @ 2.61
Total profit on (ABK) = $9165
With this profit, I have begun to watch another stock that looks tempting. Although it does have a strong risk, the swings are interesting on AMCORE Financial (AMFI). I actually had plan to get in at $0.65/share and the stock did begin to drop towards this price before touching $0.70 and moving back upwards. I can see this stock pull down again before another run up. If it does not happen, I’m not going to lose any sleep.
Happy Investing!

Pretty awesome profits you picked up. It’s really a great time to be investing right now, well at least if you put money into a few stocks a few weeks ago it was. I bought into CAT at 50.96, so far I’ve got a great return on it, as the stock is almost at 70! Not sure when I will drop it though, I’ve had a long position on it for about 3 months.

Same here, Komodo Dragon. I’ve always kept an eye on CAT shares, and am hoping their good run continues for some time.
Till then,
