Here are 799 examples of what not to do in the markets.
Below is a list of 799 financial stocks that can not be shorted... at least for now.
It's been one heck of a week. I think the best way to describe it is AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!
The thing to do right now is to use common sense and stay cool. Remember, you have all year to trade. This week, while volatile, has not reversed the downward trend for the financials, it merely averted a meltdown in the financial markets.
There are a lot of opportunities to trade. Removing 799 stocks out of the short-sale basket doesn't make things all hunky-dory again, it simply puts the brakes on. There are, and there will be some more amazing opportunities to make money in Q 4 and in '09. All you have to do is stay tuned to this blog and we will share our thoughts and ideas with you.
