Jefferies has too much leverage

+10.19%

(closed on 10/07/08)
I just ran a screen on companies with too much short term debt. What I found doesn't bode well for Jefferies. They have just shy of 19 billion in short term debt. All companies with short term liquidity needs will face tough times. Commercial paper spreads have blow out and the market has for all intensive purposes totally frozen up. Credit isn't likely to free up any time soon either. I don't have a schedule of maturities but the debt maturities are the ticking clock here. I hate to say it but I am a seller of JEF as well. Sell baby Sell.
Anybody have any longs they like?
