I like that setup on AMZN. Just shorted it at 84.72, using a stop just above 85.00. Thanks for the idea!

I couldn't agree more! I primarily trade pairs, and after having a great Thursday, you can imagine my chagrin when my long PEP, short KO went against me in a pretty big way. But ebb and flow, it comes back decently today...I think your analogy is apt, and true for most things in life along with...

Hedge funds CAN and DO use this strategy, typically with a longer time frame than seconds,minutes,hours,or days. The reasons are many for why stocks diverge, but it is my opinion the major reason is because the vast majority of money is ran by mutual funds, who are long-only. Their buying and...
