this is the beginning of the end for internet and tech stocks..

I much prefer doing NSYE stocks as well, especially the large cap DOW stocks like CAT, MRK, GM, WMT, etc. You get big 1 pt moves all the time. I do intraday and my swings are typically a day or two.

trades from 7/8(Tues.) Rough week.. Last two wks of gains disappearing real quickly. TGT saw a new 52 wk high. Short another 1K ANF at 31.10. ANF is up over 10% in two days without company news. ANF SSS reports are due out Thurs. Good luck to all..

I'm not sure where you are getting at? Are you looking for low risk short positions? I do solely shorting. Here is a look at my journal for the last 2 wks. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19593

My problem is I dont know or rather feel uncomfortable going LONG. Excluding the last near breakeven SLB trade, I've made 8 consecutive trades for winners(200+) which are all shorts. I see the signals to go LONG, after I cover especially, but just cannot make myself do it. Its almost like...

How neat is this... margin call on 7/03/03

GM has always treated me nicely.. MRK as well.

FT, What kind of volume are you trading?

Do you guys closed all trades at the end of day regardless of your profit/loss on the position?

oh u bet i was smiling a mile wide all day long today Jordan. It felt good to be on the right side of the trade. Covered GM at 35.70. LOD was 35.40, closed 35.95. A Nice 410. Got greedy and let some profit get away but overall i'm estatic to be on the plus side after yesterday's events. SLB...

short GM at 36.11 yesterday.. its all downhill and still falling as of this minute.. and WILL continute to fall good luck trading to all and happy bday bud.

sorry for the confusing post, but your explanation was adequate. I had SHORT 500 SLB on Mon 6/2, thus going from your explanation I do not owe any short dividend. Thanks a bunch! that was a huge sigh of relief. Good Luck trading :)

I have a SHORT Position with SLB. SLB had ex-div 6/2/03 of 0.19 and div date of 7/3/03 So if i had open a 500 SHORT position on SLB on 6/2 i now owe 500x0.19 worth of DIV to be paid july 3rd?? :confused:
