Captain,WB or others...this short situation....first my story and it revolves around what I am asking..
Right before the big downturn in 08 or 09 I held a lot of various bank stocks (I know not too good in 08 and the next few years)...Using my charts/technicals I would short against my position and cover in a short time. I did VERY,VERY good....
Here is my question to anyone. One can still do the same I did (aka-short against the box)..Being that is a small stock it would cost me more but it can be done I understand.Is there any reading on who does this with Capstone? I mean here is what I am thinking. If one knows the fundamentals will turn around but it can be shorted in a short term position and covered....why not? If it runs..close the short with ones Capstone position. Another question can a 'big' player do this? How do we little guys know this is being done?
