Now that I've thrown that ball up in the air, some of us may need to re-learn how to catch. I don't propose that we take time here to discuss learning. There is a time and a place . . . and very soon we will see both. But for those needing to act swiftly, I'll make a rare recommendation.
Just as Mark Konrad [how we missed him!] has an incredible knack for spotting the hot LONG swing trades, Velociraptor [on Sharck's board], in my opinion, has a similar knack for spotting the hot SHORT-SELL swing trades. But the key difference is that he is NOT a Short-Selling Basher, like many we have seen here on SI, who run from board to board slamming this or that company officer and casting doubt and fear to all longs, to further his own positions. Rather he is a scholarly, creative and savvy gentleman that works overtime looking for an edge to make his short-sell trades as good as they can be. Plain and simple.
Now you guys know my feelings on this issue all too well. And as some of you know, I've searched long and hard to find a group of talented short-sellers who focused on their TRADES, rather than getting caught up in the hype of promoting their positions. I have reviewed literally many thousands of posts by hundreds of short-sellers. . . hoping to find such qualities. And I am happy to report that fellow-Nashvillian, Velociraptor, on Sharck's Soup has the right stuff.
Sharck is also an excellent short-selling board leader who attracts a smart audience by focusing on the trades, rather than the hype. And if it were not for his ability to run a good clean short-sell board, I doubt so many SERIOUS traders would have gravitated there. I am hoping that Sharck and Velociraptor will one day write a primer for some of our newbie readers on what it takes to set yourself up to begin short-selling. And how to make winning trades. I am certain there are many here who would be interested in such a work.
Well, that was a lot of words. . . .and despite such a sunny [tho' cold] day, I've seen my shadow. . . and it is time to go back into my hole where I do my programming.
Best wishes all. . .
