Link'O'Rama: Tuesday Edition

• Is the shorting of stocks keeping our market down? I first got wind of this theory in a recent article in the Financial Times, and this column suggests it as well.
• The newest Jim Jubak column
• This article details what to do in anticipation of a layoff
• There is a hidden war on the rich by the rich
• Is the housing bust over?
  

Link'O'Rama: The Singleling

Only one Link'O'Rama link today, but it's a good one. Jim Jubak's new column asks investors to use this time to determine which stocks are truly great, and which one's were full of smoke and mirrors. Some key points:

• We are due for a short rally in the near future due to stocks being massively undersold.
• Look at the fundamentals of the stock, and not just the price.
  
• We can't look at the 52 week high as an indicator of where the stock should go back to in the near future. That price was probably highly inflated.
• Former CEO golden boy Jack Welch is highly responsible for GE's current woes, since he restructured the company from an industrial one into a financial one.

I hope to get Link'O'Rama back up and running, with a roundup of the best links two or three times a week.
