Wouldn't touch it here.

Hard to convince me any long is worth holding here over the ST.

W/r to financials they have not yet hit bottom. If/when SKF hits close to the 200 mark, get primed to rip (not rest in peace).

It seems to be in progress (SKF parabolicity). The approximate time frame shown on the chart for the top is still in play as well.

Personally I think the downhill run w/r to the mainstream has just entered meat grinder stage. Financials closer to the final knife stick and twist stage.

correct ticker symbol is ETFC (for E-Trade Financial Corp.) (not really a surprising ticker symbol choice for a company with that name).

I think they will "go to zero."

They are in the wrong business (for the immediate future) (brokerage).

And, their mortgage stuff cannot reasonably be expected to "work out."

I also cannot imagine anyone willing to buy them, since their massive mortgage exposure makes them (what I believe is called) "a pig in a poke."

Jon.
