What: Shares of Flagstar Bancorp
So what: This looks like a dead cat bounce after Flagstar plunged twice already this week. Today the market is absorbing a downgrade from FBR Capital and contemplating exactly when shares may be done plummeting.
Now what: I’m awfully leery of a move like this, especially after a stock plunged so far during the week. Catching a falling knife is a dangerous proposition, and I’m not convinced the stock has bottomed out. For now I’m going to watch from the sidelines and let traders try to pick a bottom, if one is to be found.
