The banking crisis isn't over yet and the credit card crisis hasn't even begun yet. It is only a matter of time before the banks are nationalized and the taxpayers have to mortgage their children's future to save the banks - again.

The investment seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, which correspond to twice the inverse of the daily performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Financials index. The fund normally invests 80% of assets in financial instruments with economic characteristics that should be inverse to those of the index. It may employ leveraged investment techniques in seeking its investment objective. The fund is nondiversified.

Financials Short Term Rally! Graphic_rating_sell SKF

The financial sector appears to have bottomed over the last couple of days.  House hearings on Mark to Market accounting are scheduled for Thursday.  If there is any hint of suspension or repeal of Mark to Market accounting will send the financial sector into a nice short-term rally.  If they reinstated the uptick rule that would be icing on the cake.  The only negative is that the Treasury Secretary is scheduled to appear before Congress and anytime he speaks it seems to trigger a negative response in the markets.

Declining credit availability, defaults, and loan mod redefaults Graphic_rating_buy SKF

Just while everyone's getting bullish on banks, it makes me start to wonder how exactly are the banks going to be earning record earnings.

Commercial companies that are defaulting won't get loans, banks will only lend to the most creditworthy company.

Consumers are too strapped to borrow more from the previous ten year cycle of borrowing.  Moreover, credit availability will decline in an effort to ensure repayment of existing credit, and shortfalls in credit securitization.

The Oxen Report: Tuesday’s Market Looking to Housing Data, Consumer Confidence
<>Yesterday was definitely a good day in the markets for The Oxen Report. Our Buy Pick of the Day was Ultrashort Proshares Financials ETF (SKF). We got into the ETF at 24.00 after adjusting the entry price in our Morning Levels alert from 23.85 - 23.95 to 23.95 - 24.00<><> because I was not sure I was going to be able to get in at those lower prices, which we were correct since the low of the day was 23.97. We were able to make a solid 3% on the ETF, getting out at 24.72. On the flip side, our short sale of the day was not as successful, but we were still able to make money. We bought shares of R...

The Oxen Report - Thursday Looking Red on Job Losses and a Mixed Bag of Earnings
<>Yesterday, we had some pretty strong success with our Short Sale of the Day pick Ultrashort Proshares Financials (SKF). We got into the ETF right out of the gates at 24.10, after adjusting our entry price in my Morning Levels Alert<><> since we saw that the ETF was increasing in price rapidly in the morning. We were quickly turn that entry into a 3% profit, selling at the more profitable part of our range at 23.38. On the other side, we did not close our position in our Buy Pick of the Day Isil Corp. (ISIL). We wanted to play ISIL based on the expectations that it would rally moving into earnin...

The Oxen Report: Markets Set to Rise, CIT Set to Fail
<>Good to be back with you today after having to miss yesterday. We had an okay Monday as we went 1/2 on the day. We had been expecting the market to make a major pullback, but it instead had a nice rise on some M&As and bargain hunting. Still, our short sale of the day, LDK Solar Inc. (LDK) worked well for us. Solar has been in the pits, and we were able to buy LDK at 8.80 early on in the day and sell off at 8.63 for a sweet 2% gain. The buy pick of the day, Ultrashort Proshares Financial ETF (SKF),  was not as successful. We got involved with the stock at 25.75, and we got stopped out at 25<><><><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< />< />...
