Just riding the ridiculous CFC and GS waves up and down - It's so much easier trading such liquid stocks than the HB's ....

John - EXPE went red early (before the general tide started going out) giving a glimpse that it may not be wearing swim trunks. It's been propped up in recent months by blowing cash on buybacks. (disclaimer: Im loaded with puts)

When I click on the Etrade linky I get "page not fund" so it looks like I'm done trading for a while, lol.

Depending on your tolerance for high rates vs. safety. Probably C.D's are the best. My father who was a banker and lived through the depression and then the foolishness of deregulation during the Reagan presidency when Savings and Loans went crazy... much like this debacle on loans to people who do not truly qualify for them.. He had a CD in about 15 different institutions when he passed and I had to collect from each one. He staggered them so that he had steady income. I just removed a bundle from the market and put is into tax free vehicles..paying only 4.5 %.. When I chased high yields I usually got stung..
