• The financials look set to reverse as credit woes spread... much as we expected.
• More on China and Jesse Livermore coming your way. But first, the "New Dow Transportation Index."
• Don't embrace the weekend until you've checked out these powerful high-yield small caps -- both of them paying 10%-plus dividends. (Yowza!)

Ah, Friday. The best day of the week.

Here are some quick odds and ends for you headed into the weekend -- followed by an interesting research piece you won't want to miss.

***The financials appear to be reversing.

Just over 10 days ago, in a TD episode titled "Wait for a Reversal as Fed Folly Spreads," we advised waiting for the rally in the financials to peter out... thus setting up a chance to short them again.

Here's a chart of the financial SPDR (XLF:NYSE) as of Thursday's close.

Two things are noticeable here. First, XLF has failed to hold the breakout attempt above its previous ceiling. Second, XLF has failed -- yet again -- to sustain a move above the 20- and 50-day moving averages (the red and blue lines). The Philly Bank Index shows a quite similar pattern to XLF.

As Hillary Clinton now knows, failure to follow through on a rally attempt is bad mojo indeed. A quick plunge lower isn't guaranteed, of course. But nonetheless, this is a nice short setup. There will be some bearish trigger-pulling here soon.

Why is the rally failing? Perhaps because -- surprise, surprise -- the worst of the crisis is still to come.
