Q: EGBN missed on revenue estimates, but still had revenue similar to last year. However, the stock plummeted to a 4 year low. Is there anything else going on with this Bank?
I know it was downgraded by some investment firms. Would this be a good entry point or should I stay away.
Thank you
Steve

Q: EFN is on the verge (again) of breaking through $10 resistance established back in the fall of 2017 (it also peaked around $10.25 two months ago). If the breakthrough is sustained, there should not be much to stop it running back up to the $12+ range. Would you continue to hold for another 3 - 6 months to see if this plays out? Aside from technicals, is the company continuing to make progress in its restructuring?
