ShortSqueeze.com Helps Investors Profit Via Short Selling

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 16:57:26 GMT

URL: http://ShortSqueeze.com
Short selling is gaining a huge following, but many investors know very little about this lucrative trading style. Short sellers identify a stock they believe is going to go down in price. When these traders target a stock it can cause a flood of selling. Short interest in stocks is at an all-time high this month. So, how do you know if your portfolio might fall victim to short selling? ShortSqueeze.com offers free, proprietary short interest stock reports, so you can see if your stocks are targeted. ShortSqueeze.com tracks short interest data in NASDAQ, NYSE and AMEX stocks and helps traders identify which companies the short sellers believe are going down. Large volumes of short selling can weigh heavily on a stock. Anyone can access the company’s proprietary information and receive free short interest stock quotes from their website at http://shortsqueeze.com. ShortSqueeze.com was founded by Dylan Wetherill, who started his career as a stock trader, relying upon short interest data to help guide his trading decisions. With this information, he gained valuable insight into the catalysts that cause powerful changes in stock prices. Wetherill says “The world's best traders and fund managers have long understood the power that stock short interest can play on price moves in the market. Our research is designed to help you find powerful opportunities - both long and short - and gain from the timing of dramatic changes in stock price. ShortSqueeze.com provides our members with an exclusive edge in the market.”

Costa Rica Consultants, one of the country’s premier real estate firms, today announced the launching of the most comprehensive on-line catalog listing of Costa Rica Real Estate and investment opportunities available in an effort to simplify property purchases and investment opportunities for prospective buyers and speculators.

MoneyTerms.co.uk Offers Detailed Investor Glossary and Reference Site

Thu, 29 Mar 2007 15:02:32 GMT

URL: http://moneyterms.co.uk
Money Terms is a finanical reference website for investors. Written by an experienced analyst it aims to cover what investors need to know when analysing companies and securities. Site creator Graeme Pietersz commented "Investors need to be able to look up everything from financial ratios to industry terminology. Simple formulae and definitions are easy to find, but these are not enough. Money Terms goes further and explains what matters to investors and why. It also provides guidance on the practical application of financial concepts and numbers." The origin of the site was as a glossary on an investment research website formerly run by Pietersz, an analyst who has previously worked in fund management and stock-broking in Britain and Asia. When the glossary proved to be more popular than the parent site, it became obvious that there was a real need to have this kind of material online.

Mortgage-Lenders-Plus.com Helps Homeowners Understand New Mortgage Loan Standards

Tue, 21 Nov 2006 18:45:03 GMT

URL: http://www.mortgage-lenders-plus.com
The federal government says mortgage lenders need to toughen mortgage standards. The new mortgage loan rules will mean more paperwork when it comes time to borrow -- and for some borrowers less ability to get the loan amount they want. In his latest column for Mortgage-Lenders-Plus.com, Peter G. Miller (author of The Common-Sense Mortgage and a columnist syndicated in more than 80 newspapers) shows how borrowers can do well under the new standards. "It's really a return to the loan standards we had prior to 2001," says Miller. "With a little preparation most borrowers will be able to easily sail through the new requirements." more »
