Short Interest Update

Sun, 01 Feb 2009 18:27:00 GMT

If you are an avid short seller, the financial sector is of particular interest. I did some research on short interest levels for various financial-related industries and, as a whole, the sector's short interest level was down 3% (as of Jan 15th). The industries researched are the 1) broker-dealers, large banks, 2) securities processors, 3) regional banks, 4) online brokers, 5) specialty/mortgage finance, 6) life insurance, 7) asset management, 8) p&c insurance, and 9) reinsurance. The largest increase in short interest came from the securities processors, up +42% (partially thanks to STT: +86%). The runners up were the broker-dealers and large banks, up 8%. Next came asset management with a +4% increase. Life insurance saw a 0% increase, and all other sub-sectors saw a decrease in short interest[More...]

14 Stocks To Watch On This Obvious Bounce Day

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 18:14:00 GMT

Here’s a list of potential shorts, but with future 5%+, I’m not really even gonna think about shorting of any of them today….remember 3 out of 4 stocks follow the market, so if I’m going to try to play the bounce—which is tough considering we’re gonna have a strong opening, aka you should’ve listened to LiveStock on Friday (wish I’d gone from 1-4PM instead of just 1-3PM as that late day rally coulda woulda been fun, oh well) where I said time and again, don’t be short over the weekend, don’t be short over the weekend, everyone’s gonna do everything in their power to try to get us to bounce—I’m looking for bounces in strong companies like ISRG, BRKA, AAPL & WYNN. Of course, the market trying to go up more than 5% in he morning a fool’s bet—just a tough setup to try to play if you didn’t have your positions in Friday afternoon–so if I[More...]

Pay, perks hit at power grid operator: NYISO policies "bleeding the ratepayers," whistleblower warns

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 09:46:00 GMT

Dec. 2--Ten years after its creation, a non-profit "utility" that's supposed to provide New York consumers with a reliable and affordable flow of electricity is spending heavily on consultants -- paying generous salaries, perks and bonuses to its locally based work force and drawing plenty of criticism.
Directors intend to build a new electricity grid control center -- a $50 million replacement of the facility currently housed in a large, bunker-like building in Guilderland which was recently renovated.
The new center would rise in East Greenbush next to the Class-A office building the NYISO purchased in 2005 for $14.5 million from Phoenix Cos.
