NYSE Short Interest Hits Record Highs... Again

Closed yesterday up around 25% and looks like anothere 5 to 10% upswing today. Lets hope this momentum carries through and that the estimated loss on next Tuesday's earning reports is not greater than expected. If not, the stock should at least be on solid ground if not going up some more as the past two days have been.

ETFC up over 20% today. Back in $3 plus territory, very positive. Earnings to be released next week which will give a good indication of where this stock is headed. I am riding this one up or down, either way it is a good speculative stock in my humble opinion.

The Current Market Atmosphere: Easy Money Hard to Come by

Remove yourself from the noise is the best advice from this article. Don't follow the media hype and read all these posts with a grain of salt as EVERYONE has their own agenda they are pusing one way or another. Nothing is usually ever as good or as bad as the media and/or pundits would have you believe. Stick to your time proven principals and disciplines and you will survive the financial crisis now as well. The market will recover, just a matter of when, and that truly is something no one can predict with real certainty. If they claim they can, they are probably getting inside information and breaking the law, so don't believe all you hear and read. Keep piling up your cash during this downtime and do your homework to buy the few stocks out there that are bargains and not just junk disguised as a bargain and you will be fine when the market decides to roll again. Bottom line, know your risks, know your timeframes, keep saving money and keep investing also, just be selective and use your own brain at the end of the day.
