Don't even think of betting it all on 100+ calls of this or that large cap stock. If you're not feeling the market, it's because you can't see that sometimes betting against the market is the right play. Stop trading/investing for a few weeks (or months) until the market stabilizes. Then...

Knowing that now is a good time to short is easy. Knowing when longs are back in fashion will be difficult. :cool:

I'd still consider it at current after hours pricing (10.40), but I'm guessing it will open at 9 or less on Monday morning. Another one I've been looking at is LEND. Still some good downside potential there. I spent a few months working at a mortgage brokerage during the final months of the...

This stock will be at 5 in a week, before getting delisted. I was so close to shorting this one the last week when NFI got hammered. Now I'm kicking myself.

While many investors look to bear markets (or correcting markets if you prefer) as sources of anguish, they should be looking at them as second chances. How many investments have you passed on over the past couple of years that you truly regret? Stocks that have outperformed your wildest...

I forget...Is that a bullish sign or a bearish one? :D

This one could break 40!

Why not leave at least one egg for breakfast tomorrow?

IMO, the short covering is pretty much over, which caused the spike in the last couple of days. Again, IMO, the stock should fall from here along with the rest of the market. I covered early, because I saw indications of upward movement, as I wrote: If I were still short, I'd hang in...

Here's a good story... After writing the original post, I was convinced that TSL is in fact a good short play. I didn't realize at first that the run-up occurred in just 2 months until I studied the graph more carefully so as to write an accurate post. I shorted the stock just moments...

Primarily cash and one short play.

Perhaps the seat belts won't be necessary. :D

...Nothing but blue skies and red arrows from here! If you're short, enjoy the ride! My condolences to the rest.

I could be wrong, but I think the influx of capital relates to the curbs that are put into place when the markets plummet. Such was the case yesterday at the opening bell, when the Dow immediately dropped 200 and the Nasdaq, 50.

I suspect real volatility will return Monday and should last (I hope) throughout the week.

It's early yet!

Somehow I get the feeling that the next few months for Chinese stocks will be similar to the last few months for REITs. Anyone else getting that feeling? The recent run-up in Chinese stocks trading in the US is crazy -- and in some instances, literally insane. Take for example TSL...

Then again, if it goes much higher from here (38.9999999), I'll reconsider.

Glad it worked out for you. I haven't reopened my short. I took good profits on this one and now I'm looking elsewhere. Good Luck!

We might see some green pretty soon. I'm on the sidelines, waiting for a good discount on short opportunities.
