Today IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: IMB) reported that its quarterly loss was cut by 64% leaving investors with a small glimmer of hope... although the company has done a small about face. Previously IndyMac had suggested it might be possible to get back to profitability by the fourth quarter. They now are reporting that they probably will not report a positive quarter in 2008.
It was only ten days ago that CEO says IndyMac has 'turned a corner' but the story continues to evolve. The stock closed down today at $3.06, losing 37 cents or almost 11% of it's value.
