BABA: The bear case

[Scataphagos]

Well, as Baruch, I always sell too early . I am a trend follower but I won't follow infinitely.
So I prefer take profits with 100% certainty a bit too early rather than waiting for a confirmation of the exhaustation of the bull case and lose a big part of my profits!
My 2 cents.

Not a fan of "targets" of any fashion, but that's one way to play it.

Lylec> Are you long and nervous?

No, i want you to short baba. Put some money where your mouth is. Here's my position.

 

[Chuck Krug]

Why the hell would I want to short BABA here? It's in a steady uptrend.

 

[Chuck Krug]

I'll let you know when I do short it! Happy now?
I still fail to see what this has to do with BABA's fundamentals though. It's probably me.

I said I'll let you know, learn to read please.

Lyle doesn't do well with criticism... starts to look like a troll to me. Keep up the good work Chuck!

I post a profitable trade opposing the OP and you call me a troll. There are always multiple sides to a trade. Unless you have skin in the game, you have no side, just an opinion. If you read carefully, you may learn something. You appear to be the troll here, can you take the criticism?
We should adopt a new mo, play along ET threads and silently trade against them.

That's it Lylec is on ignore. 2 guys in 11 years is not too bad, I guess.
Maybe I'll even go long BABA to celebrate!

First of all you don't know it's profitable yet.
Second of all... you don't seem to be able to respond normally to even decent questions, like in your own thread about GOOG.

This is a forum... it's about discussions... pro and against arguments. I'm not saying which trade is better than the other, but for the purpose of decent discussions, you might want to stop flying right in the face of others each time someone disagrees with you or asks questions.

Haha...spite trading.

Actually, I bought MO in 2009 to spite a smoker buddy of mine so every time he had a cigarette I could tell him how much it contributed to my dividend. Still holding the shares today (plus many more). He quit smoking a few years back.

It's actually been distressingly profitable...
