NURO - if you are short, for god's sake take profts!

BZH - how low can you go?

RIGL - looks tempting....needs a few more weeks.

How low can BZH go? the low 20's.

crack, snapple, pop goes the bubble.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!

crack, snapple, pop...HOLY mess!!! LOL. How retarded am I?

snap, crackle, and pop goes the bubble.....LOL. I got too much sun today.

I really don't know how to respond...not often someone dumbfounds me

That was weird wasn't it?d

I just laughed again, re-reading it.

LOL

KNOT - looks like the bottom is about to fall out.

it figures that  i covered VOL short mid aug and blows up now......

Shorting isn't easy. That is why I hate this stupid game.

I think I am only shorting because I feel pressure to perform.

I would rather NOT short EVER. Unless it is ETF's.

yeah i guess its like Oneill's short book says that you have to be persistant w/ shorting and could take 3rd or 4th try until it really breaks.......this mkt is tough to perform in, at least for me as i am doing well 1 week and crappy the next week and in the end i dont really get anywhere except spin my wheels, and i am not good at this short term trading positions for a couple days based on mkt indicators, too many smarter traders than me playing the mkt short-term, i dont feel like i have any edge

If you don't feel like you don't have an edge. Than don't trade. That is the best thing to do anytime you feel like you are lost.

I am spinning my wheels also so don't be upset if you are not making progress. This is a traders market and only smart futures traders like Y. Gross and some others I know are making money here. Just look at Y. Gross's performance compared to the overall market. I am well outperforming the market this year but since May I have done NOTHING. He, however, has increased his gains. That is another tip off that this is not a market for active investors; it is a market for active traders.

I hate reminding myself that I would rather never short by getting short..

I shorted RMBS near the close and I feel like crap about it..  I also feel like crap for not just getting out of it AH.  

You can see why I would short a little RMBS, but you can also see why I would want to take it off if it doesn't work right away.

My headspace is all messed up here because I feel immediately guilty for taking any trade here that makes me uncomfortable right away.  I have a hard enough time with my longs because the market is overbought and lackadaisical etc etc.

Also, seeing GROW take off on a day when everything seems particularly unclear makes me think back to when I sold my big chunk to some lucky bastard around 15$.
That would have made my year to hold that and go on vacation for 6 months.

rmbs very strong volume accumulation drivng this bounce, its not a weak volume bounce like many charts........u see that RMBS broke back above 50dma and then 2 light down volume days w/ no pullback on Wed and Thurs this week after it had just rallied 70% off its bottom.....i looks like it will go higher not that i would go long w/ the 50dma in a downtrend and way below the 200dma......ugly chart but i wouldnt be short
