edit AK Steel stocks have been particularly volatile this year

Top Contributor: Charles Colon | Created when AKS was $41.58 | Edit | History

AK Steel stocks have been particularly volatile this year within an already relatively unpredictable sector. Indeed, AKS stocks have closed up or down 8% or more on at least nine different instances in 2007. On August 16, 2007, the stock dropped 16% mid-day, only to rally 26% the next week. This may leave all but the most aggressive investor a bit queasy.
