Short selling
The idea is to sell when things are bad and will get worse due to some fundamental on the way.Question must not be if it gets worse,but when it gets worse.

Here is beautiful link about LEN.
Here great link about level 3 mark to make believe.


Is Citigroup next Enron ?


Its good to say that Morningstar has Citigroup shares as undervalued with fair price around $50.

Eric Sprott is betting against and Jim Rogers as well. Reason?  Level 3 accounting.

Citigroup Inc. in its quarterly earnings filing today said as of Sept. 30 it had $134.84 billion in level 3 assets.

The investment bank said its total liabilities related to level 3 assets at quarter-end were $40.36 billion, according to the Form 10-Q. The $40.36 billion in liabilities ought to be a hard number.

Citigroup has been all over the news for: $20 billion in lost value for subprime mortgage and related securities over the past month .
