A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

Fantastic Geez.....

May I post a simulated trade?

Long CMCSA @ 14.58 (On stop)..
Stop @ 14.24.
Profit target @ 15.26.

I am still waiting for the setups Geez.....:)
 
12:56 200 FAZ 5.40
STOP 5.28; TARGET 5.60

After stock reached 5.55, I moved stop to 5.47 (6 cents over b/e). Got stopped out for pennies profit. Would have hit my target if followed the discipline suggested by GEEZ and moved stop to exactly at b/e.

Everyday is a learning.

Thanks,

Since Geez is sleeping and it's still early here, I'll give you some solid reasons for these trades. I shorted UHS at the exact same moment as Geez on the first trade; it was funny, he announced the trade and I had just shorted at the same price. After a strong run on the open, UHS quickly retraced over 60% of it's move, which is basically a failure to thrive, and strong short signal at the top of a run.

The second short entry had two strong signals: the previous day's last support level became resistance and quickly pulled back leaving a significantly lower high.
