Stock Model

Nitro, are you still short APKT? I'm obviously late to the party, but I shorted it this morning at 27.64. Even though it's lost over half it's value in the last year, it still looks compelling as a short.

Yep,

The portfolio has not changed since last updated. I will post it again later to bring it up to date.
 
Covered the APKT short this morning at 24.04. Stocks in a downtrend tend to have vicious snap backs resulting in margin calls, so I don't like letting shorts ride.

Buy to close DECK, 52.85, +$40.97

DECK is my biggest winner to date on Stock Model % wise. +77% is enough.

Good one. DECK is on my short sale list too, but I didn't notice it until the end of April.

Thanks for looking. I'm not big on shorting, but apparently I'm going to have to get used to it if I'm going to make any money in this market.

Having a balanced portfolio long and short is probably the biggest epiphany in [swing] trading or [swing] investing.

How to rotate into leaning in each direction is the thing that makes it work. Once in a while, I publish what "Stock Model" thinks of the overall (SP500) market. If it is +, lean the portfolio long. If it is -, lean portfolio short.

Right now, Stock Model thinks you should be leaning your portfolio short, but not terribly so:

SPX, -1
