    Its that time again - Shorting

    The on-going flame war on this thread aside, I think you, eagle488, are one of the more cogent people on this board. Having said that, in the spirit of the thread's inclination toward bearishness, I throw in a link to an article written by a massive grizzly to my own (and perhaps yours too)...

    U.S. warns of possible Qaeda financial cyber attack

    This is a late response but he didn't recommend anything on the show; just mentioned how he acted on the rumor/news and how he ended up covering his position with a loss.

    To be a BEAR, or not to be a BEAR!?!

    Dang, does the emergence of this thread mean I need to close my short and go long again? :D The joke aside, BlueStreek, you sound a lot more prudent and rational than last few times around. NDX didn't participate in the last run up and is sitting pretty on a 5 month trend line. If it...

    Mbtrading site navigator and site down!!!

    Heck, with all these people using MBT and seeing how MBT resolves its issue on this thread, I'd consider using it as my back up broker.

    Mbtrading site navigator and site down!!!

    I've never used MBT so I can't comment on their latest problem but to those who are thinking of switching to IB or using it as an alternative I highly recommend it. Keep in mind though they've had their share of issues so you won't be immune to the kind of problems you've faced with MBT, but I...

    ***BUY, BUY, BUY or BYE, BYE, BYE?***

    I'll fully hedge my short if he comes out screaming again or if Thorn calls yet another top :p .

    ***BUY, BUY, BUY or BYE, BYE, BYE?***

    romik, a prudent strategy with options as an insurance you got there. I'm naked short YM though, started it on the latest leg up, rolled it over today (got a little lucky on pricing thanks to volatility) and I'm financing it with my winnings on the last 2 swing shorts and some day trading...

    Ensign Charting for Forex?

    I use Ensign for charting futures ( I trade equity as well as currency futs) - it's great. For equities as well, I might add, it's better than eSignal (but then again I stopped using the latter since early 2005, so it may have improved). For forex however, like Joab says, it is a dud combined...

    Dow Mini next stop 12400 today

    Let's see if the old support trend line has now turned into a major resistance. If not, suffice to say, it won't be pleasant for shorts like me (heard some pretty big buy stops getting triggered today on squawk, yikes!).

    futures down---looks like ths is the start of the sell-off!

    wavelink, liked your previous commentaries. What do you think of the market chart now? Personally, I don't think the fifth wave of this run up will be allowed to be somewhat truncated, as it looks currently if this is the beginning of the downtrend. I'm thinking the market could surprise a...

    Dow Mini next stop 12400 today

    There's something that just doesn't feel right about today's sell off. Too fast, too good to be true. Can't really pint-point where but could be because, even though we broke the big TL like many here are aware, we're now sitting right on another pretty significant TL that touches the top in...

    Would a weak USD cause US Equities to Rise?

    'Weak dollar' is good; 'weakening dollar' isn't.

    SP 500 Weekly Chart

    There's a hint on the weekly but the full set up isn't there yet. Shorts have a pretty good s/l point to work with now though (and it could once again be used for yet another blow off top - remember the triple top breakthrough at YM 12222? :D - by the longs too, if conditions are right for...

    What's wrong with the kids on the floor? You don't often get to see (still) pure hearted souls on CNBC :p.

    Dow Mini next stop 12400 today

    I'm not "calling the top with the imperative to quit if I'm wrong" or anything but with the price slightly above the Formation top, ADX above 40 for the second time in as many months and stoch & MACD showing some signs of divergence (but no confirmation) on the daily I'm willing to bet some of...
