RE : Shorting NOVL

Last week, when the stock couldn't pass and stay above the 12 3/4 barrier, it looked, tecknicly, like a good short. As it broke the resistance, with large volume IN SPITE OF A NEWS THAT COULD HAVE TAKEN IT DOWN, shorts should run for the cover (unless their short is based on fundamentals as they see it). My axiom for the stock market follows:

When a stock has good news. If it doesn't go up, maybe it was up already or maybe people as evaluating the news. If it goes down, then jump off the boat unless you are holding on fundamentals.

The corollary: When a stock receives what appears to be bad news. If the stock doesn't go down, then it may have been down already, or maybe people are evaluating the news. If it goes up, then jump on the wagon as fast as you can, unless your position is based on fundamentals then you shouldn't be watching.

Ghassan.
