AIB - Shorting the Celtic Housecat II
Last month I mentioned Allied Irish Bank as a candidate to buy puts on ( http://shortscreen.com... ); today, on the relief rally from which AIB barely passed Friday, my limit order got filled on a few Feb 11 $2.50s at $0.60 each.
Among the European banks that passed the stress test, AIB had one of the weakest sets of results (http://www.screencast.... ). And bear in mind that these stress tests didn't test for the effects of a sovereign default ( http://www.bloomberg.c... ).
