agreed.

May 11th was the begining - presplit. TIE has been in parabolic free-fall since. I will run some TA on it early next week to see where I think the resistence will really be. I think it will come back but not until the overall market returns. Until then, the ones that went up the fastest...

plus in a bull market, if you're leveraged, your leverage increases overnight with gains - not so with shorts. I got railed at the end of Jan when I was short EPEX, NGS and REDF(after the cramer lemmings pumped it). The ebb-and-flow called my margin and I had to cover. In retrospect I...

ahhhhh - the ET braintrust..... :)

ET TEAM - POWER ON!!!! at least i amuse myself..

LOL.

give him a haiku.... :)

agreed. and that's 1.5 years thank you! :cool: as i have in a post up there ^ I wanted to know what indicators he used to call the top and the change in trend. Just a few days of the S&P not being able to break through a resistence metric? There has to be more then that.

what is the avg duration of bear swings in bull markets?

intl is a bad short here IMO - they have superior products to AMD and superior prices now. When tech comes back, AMD will be crushed.

the last two months have been my worst ever -

let's discuss what it will take to stop this dive.... i've got nothing. even the fed pausing at this point wouldn't have an effect IMO. to me it feels like there is a massive rotation out of equities into very few commodities as a direct result of geopolitical issues. any other...

anyone else hiding in gold and oil right now? :)

if we break 80, panic will carry us to 100 shortly there after. this panic will carry over to gold around the same time. notice all the calls being bought for gold over 1000 recently.......

it is very important to recognize that the stocks are no longer tracking the commodities. the last time gold ran up all the gold stocks ran along side - the same is not true this time. this is truly a bearish signal - gold is one thing, but the central banks can't manipulate oil like they...

what indicators did you use to call the top? Making a call once is easy, let's see you make some more intermediate-term calls of value. :) (please be aware that i still think calling tops and bottoms is a suckers game)

agreed - i was the same way. started out with 50k and made 25% in 3 months doing self-taught TA. I wish I would have known to protect my capital better as I have taken big drawdown this year from the commodities correction(May 11) and a tech correction at the end of January. live and learn...

check back in 2 months and we'll see how accurate it is.

what can i say, i like to contribute :cool:

great post.
