Yeah, it's coming up on a year since it was at 11. I've been iffy on BAC for awhile now and I'm nervous with the bad news coming out about fraud and don't want to sit on it to see it go below14.

When you are up as you are, you can always collect the dividends and guage how the stock is doing. BAC will be held up by aritifical price movements. If the negative fraud were to really do damage, you would have seen a more significant drop by now.
I would hold long but SET a STOP LOSS GTC just incase.

The more I think about it, the less I wanna hold on to BAC anymore, but my portfolio is geared towards the long-term so I'm not sure. I need to get rid of GDX tough. That stock has done virtually nothing for me.

I don't think so. I don't think DeyKnowYayo liked me very much and RunningFishy seems to cosign with much of what I say. DeyKnowYayo real name is Naufal Sanullah. He's still lurking around I think. I've come across some of his commentary on other sites. Right now, he's a contributor on Zerohedge. Here's one of his articles (which I disagree with).
Let me get this straight... LONG TERM on a penny stock, holding past WEAK dividend, holding past FALLING volume (which = trouble for penny stocks), and NO stop loss based on the VERY EVIDENT trend it was trading in...
This game is not for you my friend.
Anyone attempting to go into quantitative finance? I'm working on the 3 things necessary for a quant position (strong math, programming, and financial knowledge) and it'd be great to link up with someone else attempting to do the same and see what synergy there is there. Right now I'm learning C++, studying for the first actuarial exam and working on indicators based on my experience trading. I got a ton of resources if anyone's interested as well.

It doesn't help you for trading exactly. Say you worked at a hedge fund that wanted you to take a specific pricing model and create an application that would check to see whether or not the market price is in line with that mathematical model, you would have to program something to do so. C++ is the most common language but I've heard of Java and others being used. If you're eager to apply some programming to aid your trading, certain charting software allow you to create technical analysis indicators or even complete strategies. I don't believe in having a black box (automated program) do my trading for me but I've been working on a "gray box". Basically something that would give me buy and sell triggers but leaves the ultimate decision of whether or not to trade in my hands.
Yeah it does. However, if it was an Elliot Wave based on that alone, we'd be in the Wave 4. Meaning once this downside ends, we're headed for a higher top and then a correction. However, Elliot Waves are based on fractals meaning there are different timelines (grand, super, cycle, primary, intermediate, minor, minute, minuette, subminuette), similar to daily, hourly, minute charts. I've known serious "Ellioticians" to go back to the beginning of an index or stock to figure out their counts. Meaning although the chart looks like it's an elliot wave, unless the bottom of the market begins a new wave to most Ellioticians, the count might not be what you think it is and may just appear to look like a wave. Most people who use Elliot Waves believe we're in a bear market right now anyway, meaning that the waves are upside down, leaving one to assume the rally from March on is simply an A-B-C correction.
I don't believe in Elliot Waves per se (the whole idea of a guaranteed 5 count with a 3 count correction seems to precise IMO). I do believe, however, that there are "waves" in how buying and selling occurs in a stock. Meaning that whenever a stock moves over a period in time, there will be "marks" left by participants showing their actions. Institutions and other participants who always trade a certain company will buy and sell in similar patterns over time, leaving their "mark". When events occur in the market, their reaction can be expected to create a similar "mark" which allows you to trade off of it. It isn't quantifiable but something you can just notice. It probably sounds stupid and I'm not very good at explaining it. It's just a theory I have and I've seen work from others that, to me, reinforce it (e.g. Soros' Theory of Reflexivity).
Since you guys love penny stocks, here's one that should be real volatile in the near future: NBG. It's the National Bank of Greece. Considering all the hoopla over Greece (and it's possibly bankruptcy) nowadays, it should definitely be in play. After what Germany said today, if you don't have a margin account, you're going to miss out.

My current plays:
EXC (cheap, stable, 4.6% dividend)- largest holding
T (just a place to park some cash at 6.7% with little downside risk for a while)
Just picked up some C, stop loss is in at 2.95. Lot of big dogs in recently and if the government, price Al-Waleed, and others paid 3.25 I'm good with taking a flier on it.
C is a gamble. EXC and T are capital preservation and a nice chance to make a safe double digit return in a year. (money I can't afford to lose (will get out if I lose 10ish percent.
What I really want to research and possibly get in on is BYD (chinese battery/car company) Ticker BYDDF, I'm still mad I didn't look into this enough to realize I could have bought shares last year. Buffett and Munger were all about it especially Munger at last years Berkshire meeting. What a great experience that was btw. Bought a B share and held on to it long enough for it to pay for my trip out there. Sold it a while ago though, needed to get liquid at the time.

CITI (C) !!! BUY BUY BUY BUY!!!
C to me is a joke. I can understand your basis for taking a flyer on it, but to me, I don't see how they'll regain ground plus the amount of shares outstanding today (say versus 5 or 10 years ago) is disgusting. I'm just angry they sold off their lucrative trading arm, Philbro.
