National City Goes with Flow

National City (NCC) is up on its feet today after the Monday mauling. The bank stock has gained around 40% in the morning and is trading at $1.90 -- a day after it lost 63% of its stock value.

The bank is benefiting from an across-the-board bounce in financial stocks on hopes for an early bailout. According to an analyst quoted by Bloomberg, the upward curve on Tuesday is a correction as there was no logic behind the plunge to the brink on Monday. Moody's had weighed downgrading the bank's rating yesterday.

However, analysts could not put a date as to when the Ohio-based bank could return to profitability. The stock has lost nearly 90% of its value in the last one year.
