Fcstone Grp. (MM) (FCSX) Share Price

Still going up. We're at HOD now.

5.50...sweet!

Good to see this back above 4.50. I can't decide if I'll exchange my FCSX shares for IAAC.

3.96

Sold and bought again. Another great buy at these prices. Plus they renewed their credit facility? Another big run-up

Hang on to it. This slow move upward will not stop. Even with April trades down, everything is already priced in and this continues up. This is so undervalued.

Shoulda sold yesterday above 4.50 and bought back in the low 3's which is where I think this is heading.

That's sweet. Hope you made good money shorting it. I didn't know about this company until a few months ago. I'll buy more if it dips below 2.

At one point I held 4,000 shares, bought in the 1.50's
I think it'll dip back down, so I might buy back in.

I shorted it last year between 30 and 40 :)

This could be the reason for today's surge:

Treasury, SEC, CFTC To Unveil OTC Derivatives Regulatory Plan


By Sarah N. Lynch, Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- The Treasury Department will unveil its plan for regulatory reform of over-the-counter derivatives late Wednesday afternoon, Michael Dunn, the acting chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, said Wednesday.

Speaking at an advisory committee meeting at the CFTC's offices, Dunn said he will appear alongside Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Schapiro at 4 p.m. EDT to discuss the details.

He declined to elaborate until the plan is announced.

Over-the-counter derivatives such as credit-default swaps have been the target of much criticism since the financial crisis began. The trading of credit- default-swap contracts led to the near downfall and government bailout of American International Group (AIG). While the SEC has antifraud authority over swaps, neither the CFTC nor the SEC is allowed by law to regulate them.

I sold at 2.19 and got back in around 3.02.

I couldn't find anything. I bet they settled something. No news released. Also, there could have been a filing that didn't hit the newswires with a new fund buying...

I sold the last of my holdings on monday at 3.75 and was going to jump back in at 3. :)

Wow, what happened? What's up with the surge?

FCSX 3.48 +0.23 +7.08%

We've been doing great here from lows in the 1.2x range

I sold FCSX too soon a couple weeks ago. I'm hoping to buy back in. We'll see what happens on Thursday. Maybe I'll be lucky and get back in under 2.

Hey, welcome to the FCStone board! Missed ya a few days ago. Gunna be a fun ride here when people realize that they aren't so bad off. :)

It's a billion dollar Commodities broker, so there's a TON of institutional ownership. I think 80%. there's probably not much of a float. hmmm

THEY HAVE SOME DECENT VOLUME FOR A STOCK PRICED OVER A DOLLAR

an Upgrade should double the price. When they sold that 90m in debt, they halved the price.

WHATS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET US TO LIFT OFF BIG TIME

Just a little FCStone action, that's all. You know, commodities broker. Used to be $40, not it's like $2. Good buy here. they're gunna make out like bandits.
