For what its worth...

Stifel is one hell of a stock picker....even in the industry they're regarded as one of the best.

Stifel bought at the high's, we know this...I dont know what they averaged but I bet they have a higher average than most retail investor or longs on this board.

Stifel also has the BEST in the industry working for them, and while the rest of us sat around wondering what happened last summer....its entirely possible Stifel saw it coming.

Maybe Stifel bought us as an orchestrated short sale?

I can see it both ways, they bought us because they figured they would double their money....or they took up a massive short position and offloaded it as the share price sank.

CUU is money in the bank, I do believe in this stock, I still think we're all getting paid out as well.....but its not implausible that Stifel saw the buying pressure in April along with the indicators starting to point down.

Its entirely probably theyve already made a mint off this stock, one thing big players dont like is having less control over their positions, and Big E ensures this. However no one can say....its entirely probably their still holding, its entirely probably theyve made a bundle and have moved on to bigger things.

Alls I am saying is Stifel is first in their class when it comes to this, the chance that us retails, longs etc have outsmarted them is not that good. That being said they could have played their own game under our noses, and what we saw as "buying and holding" was more of a "buy and dump" and we never realized it.

If I had to pick one I would think Stifel held on.....however I also wouldnt it put it past them to take up short positions. Does anyone know of any other stock Stifel was accumulating rapidly between Feb-April last year?

That being said, Im fairly certain that those whove accumulated even above $2.50 just need to keep hanging on as Im sure we will all be rewarded. Many things can happen in the markets and calling things down to a shot is usually not that easy...just an opinion and a different set of eyes looking at the same thing as everyone else.

Id hold this until we see a halt though.
