Marketsurfer says short shake shack

You might try studying the market rather than rely on a black box that only works "sometimes".

At the very least, learn something about trade management.

Check out AH trades. Up over $4 just on less than 20000 shares. This is a perfect manipulation. Now everyone is a trade guru and wants to preach Marketsurfer. He wanted to score big and he lost. That has happened to me many times. I agree that he made mistakes. Like if I were him, I would cover the portion of my short that that I did at 73 when it him 65 so I have more ammunition in case it goes higher.

No offense but the history of your posts resembles a doom and gloom sort of preacher that has no place in trading.

To trade the markets efficiently one must have a no bias attitude which is far from what you possess.

On top of that you have paranoic theories of manipulation and stop hunt fantasies that just show an abundance of ignorance.

The difference between you and him is that he let his ego get in the way, which is his usual MO. An interesting show to watch, but nothing more.

(of course, having some sort of trading plan would also help)

Wanting to "score big" is for kids.

You cannot be unbiased. Even those who trade using systems, they should know that humans write systems and they are biased that certain trades would make money. Being biased does not make you lose money. Lack of account management does. Check out my posts. I was strongly in favor of YHOO when it was trading at 13 to 16 but many were laughing at me that when we have Google, we don't need YHOO. I had 65000 shares of YHOO and I sold at $20 because people's response affected me and I sold. 65000 x $(45-20) is over one million in less than 3 years (less profit). Now I am short MCD and at the same time I am selling 2X PUT for much lower strike price. Like this week I sold weekly PUT 94.5 twice the amount of short and they will expire worthless. I have done it for over 2 years !!.

I don't see any volume at $91. Maybe his order is not for AH or is not Stop Limit and is Stop Market which is dangerous for AH

You shouldn't be bias motivated when making trade decisions (Surf was, as he disliked their burger), but it's Ok to have an opinion based on your system.

None of you have addressed the make up of ownership and what % of the float is locked down until July.
