Hey Saleem and c,

If you believe in the US economy, you have to believe in banks at this level. They are too depressed with most trading well below tangible book value to not rise even in a slow growth environment. I believe housing, capital markets, credit cards, and asset management will all look better in coming months. The only glitch is prop trading with the Volcker rule, but all that is priced in in my opinion.

I will unfortunately probably not be willing to sell something now to buy the MS I like here, but I do have exposure with the BAC I still own and do find their valuation attractive also.

Have a great weekend guys! :)

Hi Stocktrader,

There are different style of trading & most of us are different from each other.

MS looks pretty stable here after finding support......

I was lucky to get MS @ my price few mts before close...

MS Looks very good to me.

Enjoy your weekend !!!!
