    Good advice. The issue here is not so much being able to identify "a capitulation climax", they tend to be obvious, problem is that sometimes they never come and price reverses without it. If there is some kind of QE positive news soon (like bad employment), gold might shoot up $100 really fast...

    Gold is oversold but its not ridiculously oversold like in the last time. Anyone trying a short-term long there? I'm tempted but at the same time I'm aware that this liquidation could get out of hand presenting an even better opportunity in a few days, so I'm not sure what to do Maybe scale in...

    Gold volume not yet exploding like in the last short-term bottom. This makes bottom picking here a bit risky, not as oversold as that time imo

    The Shorting of Frauds, Overhyped and Bankrupt Stocks Journal

    Just had to cover here at 8.30ish. Daily chart looks oversold (great new pattern like situation) and short interest is high. Bounce risk is increasing a lot. Not seeing major panic selling yet but I will take safe profits. If it tanks more I will make money in the long side anyway (I will buy a...

    EBIX reminds me of TEA. I should have made a lot of money betting against the deal (GS isn't as stupid as SBUX). I didn't. I did put a long-term short today after open. Not as attractive as betting against the deal (since the squeeze risk was much limited before) but still it might work out

    Eike Batista interview with 60 minutes in late 2010 marked the peak in Brazilian prosperity, its all been downhill since. He is likely to have one or two of his companies go bk too (the ones that don't are likely to dillute shareholders anyway) Has anyone studied whether 60 minutes is a good...

    Tried to short XIDE yesterday when bk rumors broke, uptick rule ruined my trade, no fill. Bit unlucky that the rumor broke in my feed only with 30 sec left in the session http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323844804578529643612163014.html

    I love how 2 weeks ago the consensus among the big shots was that USDJPY was going to continue to rise. Sure, it might, but crowded trades test you HARD. Lots of hedgies don't have the balls to hold
