WaMu is now squadoosh
yet another lesson in not buying huge, volume laden downside losers
..lest you get Lehmanized, Fannie Maid, Freddie Macked, Bear Streanified, Refco’d, Globally Crossed, Worldconned, or perhaps worst of them all : Sunbeamed, no.. Enron’d
even if you’re not taking this junk home overnight, you should fear for their getting halted intraday
example : PPC bounce players on wednesday? stuckholders into thursday morning.. as the stock re-opened down some 40 percent
we simply must be wary of the bounce game , or risk becoming trader roadkill
With few exceptions, uptrenders are the way to go
downtrenders are for shorts.. I don’t short very often, and so for the most part : I don’t concern myself w/ downtrenders
It keeps me out of trouble
maybe someday I’ll short more often, if the government doesn’t first prevent me from being able to do so (yes the no-short rule is lame and smacks of protectionism. I wonder how far it will creep, and how long it will last)
regardless, there will always be some sort of niche company on the up-and-up… I intend to continue finding them, preferably early
and so with that : a sampling of what I’m watching..
