I was in SKF in 130's, out in 170's a few weeks ago. I count myself luck, this stock is as much a bet as the slots in Vegas or other ETF's like USO and DUG. Its just betting. SKF is fighting the FED and the Congress and the banks who are working their way out of this mess. Ask someone who recently bought skf at >130 and ask them if they are happy.
