7 is not going to hold

I'm going to use this possible bounce to the 720 area to reset trading shorts.

No serious hedge fund would talk to you so you'll have to trade it yourself. Sorry

What do you think of the estimates from Informa Economics? Corn Crop Forecast Raised by Informa; Soybeans Cut (Update1) 2008-07-07 18:07:22.720 (New York) (Adds yield forecast beginning in fourth paragraph and cotton production estimate in the 12th paragraph.) By Jeff Wilson...

So whats the difference between the USDA and any other US agency.

Do you have some personal issues with the USDA?

Covered the few i was able to reshort around 750. Maintaining core short. I'll be reassessing if it gets to the 650 area, although I can certainly see it getting back to 600.

Do you work there? I can't believe they would employ a strategy that hasn't had rigorous testing or a long real time track record.

What hedge fund is that?

The portfolio bit of it will show you what your capital usage is at any given day and drawdowns on all positions. What if you had signals to get long all 9 stocks and then all 9 drewdown? What's your pain threshhold. Other point is that even intra-industry can get highly correlated and then...

Hi, I have a few questions: How does this perform if you were trading all 9 stocks at the same time? As a portfolio, what are the stats? Are all of the stocks related, ie same industry? If so then I think you should test on a longer time period or a period when that industry group performed...

I want to maintain a core short position but I take some of it off on sell offs and then add it back on the upticks. When I started this my avg cost was in the mid 760 area which I then covered most in the 720s. Then I reshorted when it went back up with my cost again in the 760s. Again...

no spike, no trade

I'm waiting for a spike on the ECB announcement in 30 minutes.

I missed the close. Would have been a great place to add more to my short. But highly likely I'll see even better levels with oil on such a tear.

Everyone is barking up the wrong tree. Short sellers in stock for sure did not cause Bear to fail. It was counterparty credit risk and CDS. What kind of message do you think it says when 3 major banks announce to their traders they can no longer face Bear Stearns on any CDS trades? And the...

Shorted some more. Its starting to become a pretty hefty position for me.

Every crash starts with a correction though. I just like the sound of the word. Totally off topic but have you noticed that on words to describe selling are so aggressive compared to buying? HIT, SMACK, BANG those bids, where as you merely LIFT the offer ever so gently.

Soybeans have further to go before it crashes too.

You're right. I hate citing news. My numbers tell me that more money can be made on the short side, that's all.
