Winners Circle

[jjkool_01]

I took a brief look today. What I am writing is not backed by numbers at this time cuz I am kinda busy but this is what I was getting .....
Forget MANT. My Bad and was not on my short list. My lesson learned but if you must add it, I covered at 13.20 for a loss far less than the 18% it is off from now. Also MANT provided an opportunity to short at a higher price.

But...forgetting MANT

Of the 5 on the list, all so far would have offered an opportunity to cover with either minimal gain or very minimal loss. None gapped up huge. Some offered ops to short at a price higher than the close the trading day before earnings were posted.
In fact, looking at just the closing price and opening prices of the 4 that did post earnings already this is what I saw
CGFW
Prev Close: 5.66
Open: 5.75

BWS
Prev Close: 26.42
Open: 25.60

GDYS
Prev Close: 8.63
Open: 8.552

HKF
Prev Close: 12.02
Open: 11.50

Now with any of these, you could have probably had a better short price and a better cover price but noe really cause any nice gains or losses if you played them. You are a pro and know how to play them probably much better than me.

Then comes SNPS
Closed 21.28
AH @ 15.10 so who knows what tomorrow brings on that one.

The price at the post is not the best time to short. A runup just before they are released is probably the best time IMO.

But again, I am not as experienced as you. I am however happy with my shorts and my covers.

As for the remaining from the list, only HIBB is left. I will probably not short it. If it runs up big tomorrow I may change my mind.

Hope that answered any questions. Those on the list offered the least risk in my opinion. So, if they opened and went up, cover, minimal loss. Looking for the big ones.
