Well, I must admit Surf is brave. Tough to post bad calls and continue as if nothing happens. Tough to hold a short position which is up +3.5% when S&P is down -1%... Personally I can't. But interesting post because you can understand how to dig your own hole (really fast)... To be continued! CM

Nah, it will be the same, market patterns repeat again and again. See the graph ? Bollinger bands narrowing at the beginning of April ? And since then, bands are enlarging ? => SQUEEZE ! You can't fight vs it. Just cut your losses, take a break, and wait to short this stock later. Right now...

NEVER average down, stock is in total squeeze, same effect as shorting Nasdaq in 1999! Maybe 100 dollars could be a good price to short. I say maybe. Chris Mac

OMG again a new post .... A Brazilian metal band would say you are BORN STUBBORN Chris Mac

It is a myth! All these junk foods companies got the same business model as Philips Morris. They want to addict you ! They want to "supersize" you! The younger the better, the poorer the better ! Chris Mac

Ok, one example : Yum Brands (KFC, Pizza Hut). Year after year, more and more disgusting, lower and lower quality... but eventually equity goes higher and higher. Thanks to "Globalization". Chris Mac

The trend is up. No reasons to be short, you ll be broke earlier than the company. Chris Mac

Supply and demand. Nothing artificial here. Chris Mac

Saying now "short or long of a lifetime" means nothing. In march 09, few spoke of a lifetime opportunities. But in september, october, november 08 : lot of candidates for suicide. "Lifetime opportunities" appear when : 1 everyone is dead / broke (march 09) and you still got money 2 or it is...

No, by definition, you can just say these stocks faced a bear market. But probabilities to go bankrupt or lose again more than 50% ? Well perhaps 5% ? 10%? Probabilities to strongly rebound ? 20%?/30%? Probabilities to make nothing? 50%/60%? So shorting stocks down 77% is not a good idea...

Ok, so you better retitle : "MCD ready for a bear market?". Because there is no interest to make "may" posts. MCD "may" go bankrupt Wall Street "may" disappear Earth "may" implode one day You "may" be as rich as Warren Buffet one day Etc. Chris Mac

Yeah this is really cool :) First to use it ! Chris Mac

Let people stay naive. The more they are confident, the more you make money. Why did Paul Tudor Jones make a fortune in 1987? Because people said "stop trying to call for a top". Winners will stay winners because they expect the unexpected and act on it. Losers will stay losers because they will...

If only it was +10 000%! We speak of more than +1000 000% increase ! 10 000 times ! Indeed, (2000*(1+1000000%))= 20 002 000 !!!!! less than what this "genius" made !!! Chris Mac

X 10 000 in one year?! Nah, even with options, these numbers are impossible. Just reread all Market Wizards, all geniuses never made that. And a dyslexic guy with a mustach, a dumb face and a fake Cartier would do better?! That s why this guy continue to go to Lidl ! He got no bucks in his...

SID : what do you want to do with? Be long I assume? Because you got a nice triple bottom + a divergent rising RSI I suppose you don't want to short a stock which is already down -72% for the last year and where all sellers already sold? Chris Mac

Okay it was not "a bad time to short", but IBOV is up +8% since the start of your post (and Nasdaq down 2% !). Since December '14: 3 higher lows, 3 higher highs... Bullish for Dow ! And I will let you imagine IBOV goes above Moving Average 200 days for the coming days (yellow curb)... Chris Mac

So we agree. This boy considers trading like Poker, with a $500 minimum stack. It doesn't shock me. 20 years ago, it was impossible to make money in Texas Hold Em with $500. Now it is possible. I think it is the same with electronic trading. Transactions costs and barriers to entry are close to...

Why not ? "valor does not wait for years" I meet too many old traders/investors that still think "buy and hold" is Nirvana. Nowadays, youthness could be an edge, because young people consider trading like a video game. They go in and out as fast as they can. It works for Poker, why not markets...

Well, if the captain needs to "tweet" (SOS, SOS), the Iceberg should be really big ! To save Tesla : !
