Welcome to the Friday edition of the Special Situation Investing News. This represents the first week that I have published an issue every business day. Please remember page views and user comments are how I am able to keep The Special Situation Investment News free. Without them I would either have to charge a subscription or post much less frequently. If you like the SSIN please forward it to a friend, Tweet about it or even better leave a comment in the section below, even if it's just to say hello. The more comments the better.

Courtesy of Barbarian Capital @BarbarianCap: the dangerous Hikezilla technical formation weighs on the mortgage While this is a ton of news, I'm sure that there are some interesting things that I have missed. If you've seen one, or have an opinion on something that I've written about (good or even bad) please take a second to give back by sharing it in the comments section. My goal in creating the Special Situation Investing Community was to create a free place on the web where like-minded individuals who love this style of investing like I do can come to discuss it and share ideas. So please, comment, comment, comment. The more dialog we have and ideas we have floating around the better it is for everyone. Also, if you haven't already, make sure to click on the link at the top of the page to join this new special situation investing community.
