The Case for a Bounce

PE is not a good measurement in this current state. Fundamentals DO NOT matter in the short-run. However, I also suspect there will be a bounce next week as shorts cover and as bailout plans begin to take some effect. However, the market will likely continue to fall after that.

Short Interest at Record Levels

Although % of float is a consideration when you're playing the short squeeze, what's an even better indicator is the days to cover. If a stock has a short 30% of float but only a few days to cover, the effect of the short may not be as pronounced as if the days to cover are much longer.
