Seems the markets have chosen to ignore reality. Somehow the nationalization of banks is seen as a positive. Maybe tomorrow is not a good day to jump in to SKF:

reuters.com

"U.S. markets were closed on Monday, but European traders put some faith back in banks after Britain's nationalisation of Northern Rock."

" 'The news of Britain nationalising Northern Rock showed that a government would step in to stave off a credit crisis in any form, helping soothe credit market worries,' said Won Jong-hyuk, an analyst at SK Securities in Seoul."

Does technical analysis apply here when the fundamentals are so insane?

I personally think a double short or double long can be used to mitigate some of $$ you are risking. I want to keep my cash positions higher (mainly to keep the powder dry) and buy ultra shorts/longs with almost half of what normally one would want to invest with.
