gaps down man, there's where da serious moneta can be made, look at mrvl today ... boy what a beauty.

every day i see quite a few sobs that trend down all day long, and they are a joy to trade.

look at this p.o.s:

Very impressive . I notice you didn't mention TTWO which gapped down and rallied.

Selective disclosure sucks.

I like to short stocks that have gaped up. The larger the gap the better because those gaps have to get filled a some point.

so you knew what "moneta" meant ?

yes , I did. There is atleast 20 eastern European countries that use this word. I was surprised to learn that this word has the same meaning in Italian (Roman group)

hmmm....maybe this thread was about shortin' and odds in ttwo clearly favored long off the bat since it wasnt beaten up in premkt, neither at open. i dont know what u mean by selective disclosure but i didnt touch ttwo; sure got massacred on long lcrx at open but i as i said in a previous thread mrvl saved me buttz and more.

the stock market looks about as awful as I've seen it in years. the monthly chart is a screaming sell.

I sure hope it breaks to the upside, but I can't imagine how anyone can not be short, long term.

sure, easy money is on the short side now...every rally is usually met by dumpin', so no point takin' risk longin' here, yet.

ttwo's had a notorious history; many times, on that specific stock, it will gap down and move up on bad news. i think it's due to it being a crowded short, with many super duper long-term shorts in the stock.

when i short, i try to avoid crowded stocks for that very reason.

but then again, i'm only shorting for a couple days at most.

ttwo got already punished hard on many gaps down durin' the past month ... sooner or later it is obvious that traders will favor the odds of buyin' into weakness.
