"Don't wanna "leave any on the table", Mike? Tryin' to pick a bottom (or top) is a losing game. Better to count on leaving $$ on the table and taking the meat of the move...you can always get back in if the weakness is still there. No one ever went broke takin' a profit."
PROFIT, whats that?? <gg>
actually I have an underwater 1k short at 66.20 and have been shorting the other 1k in the upper 69''s to avg UP. made a little yang money on that friday. Got close on Friday early on but moved back up and was away from my computer, getting busy here, and my BTC was set at 68., got as low as 68.50, oh well. So took the profit on the 1k shares at 68.99.
right now, I reshorted 1k friday at 69.67, so now my avg on 2k is just under 68...... still looking for an exit but this time hoping to be by the computer long enough to see what happens on Monday. If I can get it back to within .50/share will probably go ahead and take the loss and move on. Who knows, may the DARK SIDE will be shining on me and it will open up in the 68's and move on down from there based on the Barrons article. Does anyone know if the stock split is coming out on Monday AH?
