edit AK Steel stocks have been particularly volatile this year

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.
