I got in this about mid-September just under $4. Definitely a long term play, but I think this stock is way oversold, even with the current financial market situation.

Bottoms In....

Appears as though UWBK has hit its bottom and should start to trend back-up. The order was to have a plan on how to raise the capital ratios within 30 Days.
