The guy who probably made that same call is now here as Tophat. The old "Rubberbird" with his many calls...As wrong as the gold calls was, he did make a pretty good short QQQ call. Granted, it's impossible to know how anybody "trades their own calls", which is why they are basically "Chit Chat" anyway. I can guarantee you could give that same call to 10 different traders, tell them to act on it and each of them would have a different result. 7 out of 10 would be long halfway thru the completion of the down move...Most would lose more than they make even though they got the direction right at the start.
Tough game.
