How do speculative momentum moves end

In last one week we have been witnessing above average momentum. Once market participants realized that the Goldman Sachs news was just small problem and market rebounded, there has been a speculative frenzy in small single digit stocks in some sectors. The regional banks and many other single digit bank stocks have had moves of 100% to 300% in matter of few days. Heavily shorted stocks have been behaving like lottery ticket.
All such speculative frenzies ultimately cool down. We are looking at first signs of such breakdowns in some of the high flying speculative stocks.
See these two stocks:

BANR: Banner Corporation

PCBC: Pacific Capital Bancorp

When playing momentum you must exit before the momentum party ends otherwise. The latecomers who are now figuring out how to find stocks with high short interest are most probably too late for catching those moves.
