I love seeing someone that posts do well.  It makes it more like I know them, you know... I'm happy for winners in any case, but even happier when it is a "friend".

May all your trades be good ones...

When the market has another faux up-day, I'll re-initiatiate my Home Construction Shorts :

AVTR BHS BZH CTX DHI HOV LEN MDC MHO MTH NVR OHB PHM RYL SKY SPF TOL WCI XHB

Note : OHB is about to drop below the $3 floor, WCI and SPF are already south.

Speculative Longs for Natural Gas :

MPET NGAS EGY

I generally let my profits run and cut my losses, but what a roller coaster!  Should've stayed out of the market the last couple of days and played cards, everything turned against me no matter which way I went, and all I ended up doing was making trades to break even.  Bleh!

I'll let this hand play out for some gains.

Wow! Must be nice to be a winner. It was a pleasure to see a post from someone doing good because

most of us are here complaining about our losses.

Thanks . . but making a lot of trades isn't a good formula for gains.  Not happy I was doing that just to break-even.  Should've erred in the side of caution : risk management.  The only pick I'm really happy with is the Google (GOOG) short, because it's overvalued, and by the book, has a lot of room to correct.

Thanks . . I'm having a hard time breaking through that 30% threshold.  But 35 short shares of Google (GOOG) is singing to me, no complaints.

Added a few sample shorts this morning of the gold industry based on overvaluation (overpriced) : ABX BVN GOLD, still researching . .
