I am more long than short at the moment but my gut tells me the
sellers will win. Experience has taughr me to never follow my gut
without the technicals confirming.
again the point is, trading market index ETF's right now is not
working well, what's working is trading all these little stocks
that are breaking out all over the place running 50% in a day
sometimes! This won't last forever of course and may be
a topping sign as the little POS crap is always the last to rally,
but for now enjoy it
I agree. Yesterday, I took 11 positions from your list in the AM
and flipped all in the first 90 minutes. Only one was a loser. I
was a happy camper. The irony is that for every $$ I made yesterday
I left $3 on the table at today's prices. I am not complaining
since I had no intention of carrying overnight. It is just a matter
of the time frame you choose.
Thanks for your great ideas.
