Good pick dg - I noticed that the short interest in the financials was up 25% between Oct 31 and Nov 13 - it looks like insiders knew there was going to be some sort of financial shock (Dubai request for debt moritorium) - If these thing explodes there could be a major sell off. I'll go long on 1-3 year bonds IEI long

[Spiderman]

Congrats DG,

I'll ride BONT long.

this week, I'll run MELA short.

With only a passing glance at the headlines, and this market seeming capable of climbing any wall of worry, I will favor the short side and go long SKF-
Did you hear? there was reportedly a larger # of consumer /shoppers this Black Friday, but they spent on average some $30 less than last year.....
Fiscal responsibility is becoming fashionable?
Good Luck! SD
