Risks
• Under the circumstance of rising federal funds rate, saving
rates are higher while loan demands are lower, which will
negatively affect the operations
• Improvements in unemployment have lagged and remained at
an elevated level of 7.5% at December 2013 for the New York
City region
• Position is illiquid – unnecessary risk if the worst should
happen (own 10,200 shares-12% of daily average volume)
