From that day on it tanked and has hardly moved above $0.35... Over the past week or so it has slowly risen to yesterday's close of $0.89.
Guy's, after three years I have the chance to get out and break a little better than even and I am over my wall art phase. (What was I thinking?  ).
Well this morning someone else is the proud owner of my 1000 shares @ $0.90. With all the volitility at Shelby I think I have gotten out of a $800 jam. I think the only way to have made a mint on Shelby was with an actual 60's car and not a few shares of stock.
Then again I might eat those words...

John,
I guess great minds think a like.
I bought several thousand shares on 2/23/05 at .69 and it dropped from there.I left it with Smith Barney.
Later I bought 100 @ .23 just for the stock certificate to frame.I'll hang on to this.Nice keepsake for $23.
Checked my stocks at noon and saw it was at $1 even.Called my broker and told him to sell this pig !!!
By the time it was done it sold for $1.08 
Comes out to 19% a year,never would have believed it would happen.
Opened at .89,hit a high of $1.20 and closed at $1.03.
Volume of 212,800 shares
Broker could find ZERO news on CSBI.
Wonder what is going on ???
