I have been long TOL from 14s.. I posted it in here and it got
ignored.. fwiw also long LEN MAS and USB from lower levels... still
like them all looking out weeklys and monthlys improving
The pairs trade I did as an experiment (long ITB, short EFA) has
not been a barn burner but I have to say it has caused me less
anxiety and problems that my discretionary position trades -- most
of those were short trades that I stopped at a loss after the big
gap held (I don't have rp's courage). Currently the ITB long
is up 7.06% and the EFA short is down 1.46% for an average of a
2.8% gain. For a while of course the short side was in the lead but
the pair has been profitable from the start. Could change if the
trend changes but naturally I hope to close it out before that
changes too much.
