Ambac ( ABK ) Pre Market Stock Breakout - 8/15/08 - ABK Analysis - Hot stocks August 15th
This morning in Pre Market trading we have Ambac ABK stock breaking out hard to the upside.
Ambac Financial Group today announced that Standard & Poor's Ratings Services (S&P) affirmed the 'AA' financial strength rating on Ambac Assurance Corporation (AAC) and removed it from CreditWatch Negative.
This is huge news for ABK.....I think this stock has much further up to go.
On August 6th I wrote about ABK after they released earnings and stated we had resistance at $5.60. Today on 8/15/08 we are hovering around this level in pre market. Keep an eye on this situation. If we get another close above this level we can test $6...and then $8.11 appears to be the next target.
