Which is a Better Short Candidate - Capital One or American Express?

I'm personally selling naked puts on COF at 25 strike. My reasoning is simple. Capital One Financial has a cash cushioning float.


I have sold naked puts on AXP, but I'm leary because I believe that AXP has less capital to protect itself.

Just my opinion and capital at work.

Earnings Preview: Capital One Financial

Capitol one financial will endure. They might be volatile short term, but they set side enough reserves to be fine.

Be nice now. I personally agree with Gabe. Just my opinion though.

Playing the Market as Delinquencies Continue to Rise

I personally find this article interesting. I agree with the Federal Reserves chart, and it is apparent that the general American consumer is in debt. However because of the elections, the marekt in general will probably not fall like others have stated. However, the REALITY is grim for the USA.

Markets are not rational, and I don't care what a candlestick or Stock chart says.....fundamentally... are in a big crisis, this is slowly unraveling. The rich get richer (using derivative investments) while the middleclass losses their assets (stocks,bonds, and real estate investments) and the poor just lose money (C.D's, Saving accounts).

I wish you all the best.
