• Took Long Positions In BKS & UGI

    I’m a new man today, I guess you could say. I was previously a bear, spending much of the past month shorting any stock that came within my cross ears. I have to say though, being long on this market feels a bit weird but, to continue shorting this market is beginning to look a

  • Why I Shorted Amazon (AMZN)

    Yesterday, I said that I had added Amazon.com (AMZN) as the newest short-addition to my portfolio. It was hard to do so, with the nasty backlash the bears got at the expense of futile optimism on Bernanke’s behalf. Nonetheless, I got in at 119.10 with a stop at 127.60 and an initial target of

  • Stopped out of 2, Shorted 3 More

    Busy morning, as the early strength knocked me out of two of my holdings in Silgan Holdings (SLGN) and Hilltop (HTH). However, not to be outdone, and still working within the parameters of my trading system, I jumped back into 2 more short positions and then went long on an UltraShort ETF of the S&P

  • New Trade in SLGN

    Now to be completely honest, things aren’t looking too good for this trade in particular. I got in early Friday morning, when everything seemed to be pointing to the resumption of the bear market. That didn’t happen!

    Today I finally jumped back into the market on the short side with two new positions in Gap (GPS) and Hilltop Holdings (HTH) – a clothing retailer and an insurance company respectively. The plan going forward is to gradually scale my portfolio into a good number of short positions, by adding a new position or
