<<You eye-balling the credit card gang yet? >>

Have a long-standing short in the gift that keeps on giving, Metris (MXT) (for those who think you can only make 99% on a short, i am up well over 125% of my original capital on Metris). Re-entered Providian a few days ago at $6.50 after a long and fruitful multi-year ride from $40 to sub $5. Also short Capital One, as well as deadbeat financiers Americredit (thread fave) and Household. I actually really like MBNA and would never short that company.

I'm also short Sears, which is a credit card company masquerading as a retailer (and who just pulled a move worthy of C. Michael Armstrong by buying Lands End).

Cheers
