I am waiting for a dead cat bounce to re-short but I refuse to chase it down if we do NOT get that, and i refuse to short it even in a freefall even if it becomes a short at will stock
my trading principles dictate that I have to wait for a dead cat bounce before I initiate a re-short at a higher price. if i dont get that, oh well, it will be a missed opp, but oh well...
Sentiment: Strong Sell
whats the drug got to do with the stock price??? you longs use and interchange both terms loosely dont you??
if any drug is a miracle drug, does that give its co.'s stock the right to rally endlessly toward infinity, just because the drug is a miracle drug??????????/
Sentiment: Strong Sell
is it time for 1 step up for 2 steps down now? i have lost count. LOL
Sentiment: Strong Sell
can y'all talk in simple english? what price to short at, what price to cover at to lock in profits? keep it simple for me
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Why cant the stock open at $108 at 930 am and close at $75 daily?? So, 365 days from now, even if stock is still at $75 level, we can all make money, longs and short. everybody wins. now whats wrong with that scenario??
Sentiment: Strong Sell
lets go there then. $71 baby, please lets get there IOC. I have full faith in you
Sentiment: Strong Sell
you see $80s next week?? what is this, sequel to the Sixth Sense ?? LOL
what does that even mean?? is that hallucination talk? lol
Sentiment: Strong Sell
i doubt this stock touches 90 bucks again. 50% profit in less than a month, you say??? LMAO
if you ask my opinion, you were just asking to be mocked here. 30 days and counting, lets see how close you get to your 50% profit (or $115 target) from these levels on. tell you what, if it touches even 90 and stays at 90 or higher without fading down and giving back all the gains, then I will deserve to be mocked too.
who wins, who loses? let us see. game starts now
Sentiment: Strong Sell
your talk goes way over my head yet again
all that scientific mumbo jumbo is no good for a common layman like me who believes in shorting at the highs and covering at the lows...even if it is a breakthrough scientific biotech co.
now how cool is that?
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Green open, red close. what more can you ask for??? you longs can falsely think all you want that shorts do not want a deal to happen, etc...
i will take 7 great deals every day for IOC if it meant that stock opened in green, closed in red. i do want a deal to happen so hopefully we can open in green, close in red all the time....
Sentiment: Strong Sell
DUH?? because shorting makes us money?? is that a good enough reason for you? LOL
where were you last year when this stock had a hollow rally to $45 or so, and then dropped like a ton of bricks to low $20s. so much for your miracle stock, right??? LMAO
Sentiment: Strong Sell
no, not confused. just expressing my wish for the "ideal" stock price pattern. I hope it opens at $108 at 930 am and closes at $75 by 4 pm again. thats all. just a wish of mine, nothing more
Sentiment: Strong Sell
$400K gain. good for you man. am so happy for you
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Looking at the 5 day chart, i think a 1 step-up play may be overdue and every successful short needs to know that nothing goes down in a straight line.
sure I could be wrong and there could no 1 step-up as this may just go red today too, but i will not be chasing it down shorting it at any price i get (at least not yet)
so lets wait for the kitty to raise its head a little. then I shall re-short at a better price. right after it goes up a little and right before it goes down again is the time to re-short i personally think. but you do what you feel is right
Sentiment: Strong Sell
I wanna SHORT this but am patiently waiting for a dead cat bounce to get a better higher price to short.
am sorry, did I say short? i meant re-short. LOL
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Last year, shorting it at $40+ so many times paid for my entire 2 month European cruise vacation and yes I returned back home broke...LOL
so let me short this again at $40+ and this time I will take a vacation to see the Australian outback after I cover.... Go SRPT.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
wait a minute now. explain to me why my strategy is worthless. Consider this hypothetical example.
Step 1. Deal does happen.
Step 2. Stock opens at $108 at 930 am
Step 3. I short at open
Step 4. Wait till it drops to $75-80
Step 5. Cover your short at $75, or $80 or $85 or the price you choose at.
the above can happen only with GOOD DEAL NEWS in my personal opinion. and thats foolishness to you??? are you saying its not happened before?? LOL
Sentiment: Strong Sell
I think you longs have a huge misunderstanding when you think that shorts do not want the deal to happen.
Of course, I cant speak for all shorts, but personally, I do want the deal to happen. let me repeat: I do Want a deal (yes even as a daytrading short). How else will the stock gap up at open and then race south furiously allowing me to short-trade that fade and make fat bucks if not for good deal news???
Daytrading fellow shorts should understand that IF the deal does not happen, its not in their interest at all, as there is a possibility the stock will open at, say, $40s at 930 am and then rise to $50s by 4 pm. How do you short that move? You cant.
So, lets hope that a deal does happen, lets hope it does gap up to $108 again, and lets hope it fades down to $75 again after that. but just because we hope for the best doesnt mean best will happen. you gotta look at both scenarios.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
and why exactly is that a bad thing my friend? havent you heard of PUT options or shorting? are you really saying to the world that buying is the only way to make money out there??? i am just curious to know, that's all. you can do whatever you feel like doing.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
