More on CFC and Mozilo
Ok, after listening to Mozilo interview with CNBC, I decide to buy 1 more lot of CFC. This is why.
1. My interpretation of him is that he is a good CEO and on the shareholder side. He is the largest share holder. If the stock is down, he is down. Yes he is selling, only [...]

I know I know, Spirit of Graham probably frown upon me, and I should of done this prior to buying CFC, but better late than never.

Big Money Making Idea during the Mortgage Turmoil
