HSBC has to pay 2.46 billion after a class action lawsuit claiming it violated federal securities laws.Lawyers for the plaintiff said this lawsuit included $1.48 billion in damager and nearly $1 billion in prejudgement interest. This is the biggest settlement ever following a securities fraud class action trial. HSBC formerly Household International is Europe's biggest bank by market value. In the lawsuit there were three plaintiffs represented by James Glickenhaus of Glickenhaus & Co. My Glickenhaus said that the judgment, "shows that the fraud committed by Household International and the individual defendant officers will not go unpunished, and we look forward to having the judgment affirmed on appeal." The lawsuit claimed that the company fraudulently misled investors on numerous cases including, predatory lending practices, quality of loans, and its financial accounting.

Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) is having a fantastic day. The stock hit a new all time high of $49.66. However, the charts tell the future and the future is not green for Facebook. Instead, it is cluttered with down days and a pull back to the $45.65 and $42.45 levels. So why when the world is so bullish on Facebook is the top in? The answer is somewhat simple. First, with the world so bullish on Facebook or on any stock, one must be wary as a reversal is likely. A great example of this was Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). When the stock was at $700 a share, analysts were upgrading like crazy and the whole world was talking about it. This has now happened with Facebook. Today, happens to coincide with an analyst upgrade as well. Go figure, an analyst upgrades the stock now when it is up 100% in the last few months. Definitely similar to Apple at $700 per share. When looking at the stock chart of Facebook, the first thing that jumps out to me is the symmetry. The price hovered around $25.00 a share for a long period. After earnings it shot up to a high of $49.66. This is a 100% move in the stock. In addition, notice the selling that has come in off the highs today. Major distribution from institutions. Last, notice the tail on the chart today. As the stock declines, it forms what could be a topping tail on the daily chart. Should a topping tail form, it will solidify a major top in the stock for a pull back to the mentioned levels of $45.65 and $42.45. Normally, I do not mention valuation but even that is way beyond stretched. The bottom line sits at an overbought Facebook chart that has too many amateur bulls long and reversal signals everywhere. Cheers to a great shorting opportunity. Gareth Soloway InTheMoneyStocks.com
Netflix is looking at what to offer based on what shows are being offered on pirate sites. This is probably a great strategy. If netflix can offer it easier and with better quality I'm sure pirates won't be as effective. I still say netflix is a buy,
