All time high and a strong market= exactly the right time to short a stock like CAT!! But still, my overall portfolio has more long value at the moment. Time will tell what is profitable. It's when you cover that's counts.:cool:

No, I'm not caught I have a spread with the diamonds. I will give you an update when I cover with a profit. :p

DBA ist einschlägig. Da Du n. § 8,9 AO unbeschränkt in D steuerpflichtig bist, unterliegt das gesamte Welteinkommen der Besteuerung. Was ist K-1? Etwa Geschäftanteil an einer Körperschaft? Dann käme zu den US- Steuern noch Kapitalertragsteuer i.H. v. 15 % n. Art. 10 OECD- MA. Dann ist...

Update: I'm still short CAT, position is now in the red, but it doesn't matter as I have long positions with a higher beta. Instead of covering I'm adding more, which was one possibility right from the start. So far, all is according to my plan. No fear, willing to add even more on the...

What do you define as trading? Only intraday-trading with tight stops? Stocks or Futures? Intraday with wide stops? Or overnight trading? Or even swing trading? IMHO even some investors think they are doing some serious trading when they are doing their 10-30 trades per year. I can tell...

Agree, except number 13: 13. Avoid the open. They see YOU coming sucker The open is the time of the highest volatility and a time of high volume in the futures. That's exactly where a momentum player has to be. There is another time during the trading day, where you get hammered. It...

Hi Derrik, AMGN looks fine, at least so far. What is your price target? :cool:

What comes to my eyes is the big gap @$ 14-15 area. MACR is very weak for today, tried to short, but didn't get a fill when it was trading above $20. So I will try once again at closing time. I use it as a hedge/spread. Besides, MACR management isn't conservative at all. MACR has a long...

You are right, Jake.

WTG?? What does that mean?

Hi Jake, here is the original post: 04-25-03 03:00 PM Just sold a naked Call with strike@100, expiration May.

Trade done. Sold @40.89 with moderate gain in a short time. Already moved to the next trade. :p

Yes, right. One time I was short Ebay @ about $84 and covered about the same price due to a gap down. Apart, this was a pair trade in combination with the qqqs. The second time I was selling successfully a naked call, which expired worthless. Please check the postings. If someone is short...

Apart, sorry for my bad English. Sometimes I just write what comes out of my mind. Hope, some can understand this BS.

Another possibility the play the cat is a spread with the diamonds. :p

The trigger is a screening programm and my experience, but still I can be wrong. Let's see what happens.

1)Not more than 10% of portfolio. 2)Don't know, at least a few weeks. 3) Yes, willing to add more.

Well my decision is based on TA, but just for fun I have taken a look at the fundamentals. Cash per share: $0.90, this is next to nothing for a company like CAT. Growth rate: about 14%. This isn't the kind of stuff a highflyer is made of. :p

This will be a position trade. Think there are a lot of stops above 65.90, so we might even go to $66 and well above that level. So I'm ready to short at levels above $66. If CAT won't go higher than 65.90 I will short at the closing price.

I will short CAT today, seems to be totally out of equilibrium. To enter long at these level doesn't seem to be that smart IMHO.
