FITB Update4

The consensus is (.31). The high is (.15). The low is (.50). First call average recommendation of 25 analysts is "HOLD". Highest price target is 17 by Keefe Bruyette. Slight negative bias to options-i think more for a hedge. FITB is inconsistent on their last few reports-some miss/some exceed. Technicals still good. I heard they have been doing more hiring lately. Earnings can be a flip of the coin- Continue to hold. Believe there is still a good shot at upside.
