66 Stocks Returning 16%+ this Week

Obviously there was a lot of herky jerky movement in the markets this week, so unlike most weeks we can't read too much into this week's price action in terms of "where the money is flowing". I debated adding Regions Financial (RF) a few times over the past 2 weeks due to it's perception as 'safe bank' by the FDIC since it was given the assets of an Atlanta failed bank. Missed opportunity. Sandisk (SNDK), a former fund holding, was a takeover target. Outside of that obviously the financials dominate the list - this is what happens when the government decides they must go up. :)

Criteria

1. Market capitalization $1.70B+
   
2. Average trading volume 100K+
3. Stock price $10+
4. Return this week 16%+
