With my fiancee recovering from surgery, I’ve had quite a bit of time to read up on what I’ve missed this week. Without any delay, here’s a few articles I found interesting this week.

So it IS possible to not find shares to short!
Some folks are expecting the worst in the next few weeks with the market and volatility.
Dean Reese strikes again on the Trading Goddess’ blog.
Margin calls are evil.
Emotions are always part of the equation. So how do you handle fear when investing?

Everything should return to normal next week. I’ll see you all in the market Monday!

Hope everyone’s enjoying their Veteran’s Day holiday weekend. Remember that the equities markets will be open Monday but the bonds market I believe will be closed. Anywho, here’s a short list of articles I’ve managed to enjoy this week throughout the market free fall. Enjoy!

Blain on Stocktradingtogo explains why liquid money (oil and gold… pretend the gold’s in a melted form) is much better than the actual US currency, the Peso… err.. Dollar.
Dean Reese (I believe the same Dean Reese on Stockpickr.com) posted on the Trading Goddess’ blog regarding the ‘perfect storm’ rally we may be facing with the market this week.
I came across Optionaddict.net a few days ago and I have to say I couldn’t be any happier. It’s a great wealth of information and the readers are extremely friendly and helpful. OA recently posted how E-Mini futures work especially as a use for hedging against what we’ve seen recently.
Looks like Timothy Sykes, author of An American Hedge Fund, is back in the game with the TIM portfolio and about $12,000 in assets. Yes Tim, it’s awful not being able to day trade. The margin calls on a pattern day trader are scary, at least for folks doing this the first time around!
Cheesecake Factory wins $74 million in a lawsuit this week. Why? Some mall didn’t want them as tenants.

Options expiration is this Friday. Festival of Stocks will be hosted here again on Monday as well. Just a friendly heads up!
