Very few. I'm short a couple biotechs and little small cap tech, but some blew up in my face. I would say across the 10 or so I'm short I'm about break even with a little luck. But you're right, I prefer SPY/IWM puts or future shorts depending on the signals I get, just to protect long...

I'm always long something. So how's your short book been doing lately that you have been building for months now based on your macro analysis?

You would go short today and there's a good chance it bubbles 50+% higher. You'd be killed before the roll downwards starts. Just like people were caught on the wrong side too early in 1997, 1998, 1999.

I see here: Free $$$ for everybody @ zero risk!

Congrats on the gains. Maybe a good idea to put 4, 5, 6% stop losses on GOOG and AAPL etc., just in case. Can't hurt to lock in gains. You can always buy back in lower should there be any major setback down the road...

Too bad you got a margin call before you broke even on that short :(

Congrats, don't forget to protect the gains with stops, the market has been unforgiving to bears as of late :(

Oh boy. Still short ZB and GBL, looks like freefall right now...

LMAO!!! :p

Awesome! More free money to buy back their own stock!!!

:D Words don't make or break you as a trader kiddo, $$$ does. You're a papertrader and you're broke.

Some wild moves in the morning in DAX. Good luck on the shorts, looks like the risk/reward setup is way better now than a week ago. Market looks nervous...

It's kinda funny Paulson complains about "market manipulation". Isn't that what hedge funds do in tight and largely unregulated markets? And if Bears is buying an instrument knowing that one or more of their clients is short how is that manipulation? How can you manipulate a market if the...

Everytime I was called out I posted screenshots of my trades and positions, unlike you. You never did hence I must conclude you're nothing but a papertrader and never made a single dollar in the markets.

Michael, no offense, but make sure you keep your job. Might come handy at some point.

Wrong, making 3 ticks shorting elevates you in the club of the "übertraders". Holding for longer than a day making 10 points on the long side makes you an "investor" and you have no idea about trading :D

Careful, some people don't like the truth. Next thing you know is they tell you you're not a real trader :p

All I see you do is complain and bitch and launch personal attacks against people. What are your positive contributions to the forum? Why not lead by example rather than bitch all day? Hint: Use the ignore button if you're hot tempered, might help your blood pressure level.

Congrats! If we get a follow through day you might eventually even break even on your awesome call!

Why not put me on ignore if you don't like my posts :confused:
