Yes but only in a daytrading maybe overnight basis. Got really unlucky on RNN, I shorted the day before the big tank in the last hour at $1.56ish, the stock put one last squeeze to $1.75 before tanking straight down to $1 the next day (I was going to carry overnight). I couldn't take the pain...

Its hard to reason about pretty much anything in this current market. To be short and alive you got to play small and take profits fast (and losses fast too), anytime you hold for a bigger decline it seems that you get killed. I didn't follow this rule this week and had some unnecessary losses...

Or is it considered acceptable both ways?

Unfortunately I didn't buy it, I wanted lower. We will see if the selling continues

http://www.businessinsider.com/new-bill-gross-bond-trade-gets-slammed-2014-1 Front end, buy when no one wants it sell when everybody wants it. Gross overstayed the trade. Fed futures on flush watch, I want to be long soon

The biggest catalyst for a stock to go up a lot is not earnings or good news right now but rather is to be added to the RegSho List. Anything that shows up there goes up quite a lot

UNXL lol, what a fucking scam. CEO and COO resigned days ago and they announced 'producting delays' today, scam artists

I asked Asus and they told me you can only use one at a time

My motherboard only has one PCIe x16 port, this means I can't plug multiple video cards in it (if I put in the PCI of PCIe port the bios will force me to choose the main one and disable the other). I'm looking to buy a video card that can accept three monitors, anyone can recommend one? I...

With this adapter you can plug one monitor for each USB port http://amzn.to/IClMW9 I never tried to plug more than one but I saw on youtube that is quite possible to have multiple monitors

One thing that I learned is that if you are short and things go parabolic, frequently even AFTER they tank back down, you will still be underwater. On the other hand you can ALWAYS short a breakdown, if ES starts to puke after the taper, I will be shorting a breakdown. Where to take profits is...

NQ could actually be a good short because its listed in the NYSE. They are more aggressive in halting stocks and asking for more information, if the stock gets suspended it usually opens down 80-90% in the grey sheets. They halted FU. LLEN was Nasdaq and got halted too but the naz ones are...

The only way the short and hold strategy can work is if you can predict the news flow well, otherwise it is just going to go up. Being short and enduring the torture also hurts the trader in another way, it sucks up mental capital as all your energy tends to be drawn by plays. It clouds your...

My definition is high short interest stocks, ZH has provided good stats on this being one of the hottest sectors of the market

IOC provides a good example, it tortured shorts for years with squeezes, if somehow they survived all of that, they still had to pay borrow fees the whole time. All of that to blow up in one day. If the trader had cutback the position given the recent run to $90, then he probably lost money even...

This is a very dangerous environment to be short popular names, this market seems that it might go 1999 before it all blows up. The high short interest names will be the first ones marching forward. I had to completely stop using this strategy when I saw the ridiculousness of stocks like Z and...

Closed AAMRQ LCC spread, scratch trade. I have no intention of holding through the distribution. I think people are afraid creditors will be selling a ton and AAMRQ stake will be smaller than expected

http://www.businessinsider.com/hugh-hendry-turns-bullish-2013-11 Hendry turns bullish, this market is forcing shorts to stop shorting (I certainly did in listed stocks) and for fund managers to chase stocks in order to avoid getting fired. Could we see a significant santa claus rally plus a...

http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/1415772?source=email_rt_mc_readmore AAG stock (ticker AAL) could start to trade in december. Offers opportunity for a perfect hedge by shorting AAL and not have to hold risk for 120 days

Russell is lagging the market in the last month, maybe its better nasdaq or spy. I do think there is some kind of reflexivity going on at SPY because the hedge funds are "forced" to buy in order to not get fired by underperforming it, lots of folks have underperformed it over several years and...
