Basically all financial/mortgage stocks are considered 'oversold' at this moment.
Any 'positive' news from any financial/mortgage stocks can send the whole sector and stock market up few hundreds points.
So, I am booking my profit for now. Can't be right cash-ing in my profits.
I am waiting gold for a minor correction before going up to $1000. Watching closely at ABX and GG at this moment.
Gold and GG went up too much too quickly. | exactly what I thought too.
I am waiting to get back on JPM after it settles on/above $35.5. Anything lower and I am not touching it.
GG went up way too much than it should be the past 2 days, due for a correction, might get in again on $47.5

GG went up way too much than it should be the past 2 days, due for a correction, might get in again on $47.5 | I would not dare to touch any financial stocks right now.
IF I have money that I can really afford to lose, I would buy Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac right now.
I got a gut feeling that all mortgage and financial are "oversold".
Most of them states publicly that they are fine and have enough cashflow.
Freddy and Fannie dropped over 60-75% in one month, do people think they are really going to go bankrupt (even after FED said they will back them up)?
Too much people are shorting the market right now, any positive news or numbers will pop the market few hundreds points. Shorts will quickly scramble to cover their position to lock in their profit.
Also, most companies have lowered their estimated earning number from last quarter. So, it is more likely they will beat it and "maybe" raise their lowball-ed number from last quarter. Intel and Sun Microsystems beat their numbers today and their stock went up after-hour trading.
As of Gold and GG / ABX... they looked really good long term.
Since I am expecting the market to rebound this week, I sold all shares of my gold stocks this morning. But eventually will pick GG up again in the very near future.
US Fed printed another $6-8 Billion dollars to save IndyMac... hmmmm..
Inflation will go up to the moon, so does the price of Gold! It's Christmas time for GOLD!
Above comments only my 2 cents... so for entertainment only.

^sec just announced today to ban naked shorts on financials, so there is a chance for a short term breakout for them from the covering. If jon can find enough support at 35.5, I won't mind jumping on it with a minor position

Good luck to you...
I am watching all earning numbers closely ... this bounce might not end today... maybe i'll last one more day tomorrow.
But overall... the US market is heading down in the long run...
Inflation will just going to kill US...
I can see EURO hits over 1.60 vs US dollars next week....
Any thoughts on Apple's earning? I have weird feeling that Apple might not surprise the market as much as we thought since they missed iphone sales for almost 2-3 months... hmmm.. interesting.

^Lucky for getting GG for 45.80ish, a REALLY NICE BUY.
I was too busy flipping the coin and see if I should get out or be greedy on JPM Options. not fun when you go all in on options and I strongly recommend against doing so.
right now I am on a 5% position on JPM friday call.
As for earnings, they just completed the BSC deal with heavy compensation packages given out to A LOT of people, so it might do something to the bottom line as a Nonrecurring charge so take that into consideration too. Also remember the rule, buy the rumor, sell the news.
my 2 cents.
P.S, how did you guys have time to read all the charts on multiple companies? I find it hard to focus on more than 3 in 2 industries with a full time job

Mine:
1, Unless very convinced and have strong support, no position should take more than 15% of my portfolio, and no one industry should take up more than 35% of the port
2, Make it 10% when I need money
3, always have 10% cash on hand, people do stupid things and you need money to take advantage of it
4, If my hands start shaking after a good trade, I am not buying anything else
5, Set a price target, and start selling when it is reached, dont get greedy.
6, trust my own research ONLY
Last and most important rule, if I am not sure, I wont touch it. There always will be a 2nd chance if you have cash on hand.
just my 2 cents.
Right now my hands are still shaking from the JPM Option this morning, so I am not getting into GG

I am still thinking about should I sell my Mastercard shares today or not....
I might just let it ride until tomorrow.
I agreed with wouwou... nothing wrong with taking profit off the market and ALWAYS set your goal (and sell it when you reached it, don't get greedy).
