As we said in a prior post, gutsy long and shorts can prosper. Weak longs, weak shorts and greedy short term trades are the losers.

Compared to intra-day highs yesterday, the group of 8 Blodget touts is down an average of 10%. Time to feel sorry for the Grandmas that bought in yesterday at the highs. Does anyone else get annoying phone calls at home from companies trying to sell you something... like for a new phone service or a water cleaner purifier or a donation to a religious cult?
