PileDriver Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 I'm not at all bullish on overall market, just certain sectors/stocks, they make great short hedges. WIX dong pick up 33% today. Didn't move fast enough on it - bummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 MOUSEY, Good to see you back and I hope doing much better. Thanks Dusty. Good to be back. Was daytrading from my hospital bed via telebroker FLEX and XLNX last week. Banked some profit. Not a lot. Most importantly for me right now, I didn't lose any. I've been short XLNX since last Turdsday. Was going to close out today for the EOM/EOQ paint job but, it seemed the rally failed in the last half hour so I held my position and I assume after a morning drop I will cover tomorrow before lunch. I'm making money but, I swear, beyond following the Anals, Stooltrading and yuse guys, I don't know what I'm doing. I'm just rolling with the punches right now and somehow making change at it. I'm at home convelescing so I can take things on a day to day basis. I'm not 200% invested at any point right now as I could be on the wrong end of a position during a sigma event like being short and waking up to find they have killed Saddam or being long when somehow the Republican guards knock off a score or two of U.S. Soldiers. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweefraapp Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Thursday, March 27, 2003 3,000 SARS HERE? 'Unprecedented' emergency as T.O. officials fear mass exposure By ROB GRANATSTEIN AND GEORGE CHRISTOPOULOS, TORONTO SUN Top officials in Toronto's medical staff believe up to 3,000 people may have been exposed -- directly or indirectly -- to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, according to Toronto Sun sources. "It's out of control," the source said. An "unprecedented" quarantine of thousands of Torontonians has been ordered to stop the deadly spread of SARS, which has also been declared a provincial emergency. story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiddMarket Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Unfortunately, when the world markets bottom for decades and Hypertiger is elected Supreme Ruler of The Universe, the markets will be like this everyday. When the depression is here, and we're wearing rags and eating dirt, Hypertiger will be publishing diatribes to warn us of the days soon to come when the rags and dirt will be gone.

brian4 Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Mousey welcome back! I agree with my 2 amigo's END and Driver-either flat or down some more- (Driver if you have stops on both legs -you must be walking funny!) We live in interesting times the Airline industry continues to implode AMR now trading at a couple bucks' SAR's spreading like wildfire, 120,000 more troops off to the bloodless war, GDP falling like a stone, deficit going straight up and a tax cut being rammed through which will ensure the deficit goes up faster and through all of this the talking heads on Procto talk about a war rally-Ya Right! When this puppy flushes the velocity will be MORE than we can imagine. Still short-new stop 887. Trade Safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oilman Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Welcome back Mousey, good to have you posting again . I almost shorted Xlnx, hehe, but decided to just wait until EOM ends. I think they will try to jam tomorrow and maybe Monday. After that look out! I covered at the open and now in 100% cash as I really hate EOM. Made a small profit for now, nothing exciting.

buttugly Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 My gutt tells me we have another 90% up day before we crack into the 600-800 S&P500 range. I was looking at my short position on MTG & wondering do I take my profit? So I thought I would revisit the "cutting the flowers" theory. From fool.com & Peter Lynch "Some people automatically sell the "winners" -- stocks that go up -- and hold on to their "losers" -- stocks that go down -- which is about as sensible as pulling out the flowers and watering the weeds. Others automatically sell their losers and hold on to their winners, which doesn't work out much better. Both strategies fail because they're tied to the current movement of the stock price as an indicator of the company's fundamental value. The current stock price tells us absolutely nothing about the future prospects of a company, and it occasionally moves in the opposite direction of the fundamentals". http://www.fool.com/foolish8/2002/foolish8020225.htm MTG's "future prospects" looks lousey so I am hanging on despite the high short interest and the price action. I am looking to take a bigger position on homebuilders - my only position has been CTX. Any stoolie recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summoner Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Looking at a lot of short term bullish charts on fundamentally horrible companies...something tells me the bear is about to come back out of his cave...is this where all the people that bought "the bottom" lose their ass...guess it depends on liquidity and the cmaps...PS the 81 day gold cycle per Stan Harley bottoms the next 1-2 trading days...Still prowling for those PUTZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
