Nov. 13 was certainly not an unlucky day -- it saw a swing of around 900 points from high to low. Companies that had been trading at 52-week, 5 year and 10 year lows managed to make progress while others continued their downward spiral.

Prudential Financial Inc. (PRU)

Nothing is going right for one our nation’s largest insurance providers. After recent dividend cuts, investment losses in real estate and a dismal third quarter, the stock dropped another 5.28%, or $1.40, closing at $25.14.

MBIA Inc. (MBI)

General Motors Corp. (GM)

The gain on Tuesday turned out to be just a façade. The company watched shares fall more than 4% Wednesday as thoughts of a bailout for the U.S. autos did not make major news during the session. There are still capital concerns, and it is yet to be seen if the company will exist come next year. The stock closed today at $2.95, down 13 cents.
