Farmersue - Blowoff top

In general, I dont like shorting slow creepers at all when dealing with momentum uptrending stocks.

I like the following scenario much better for them when looking for an entry:

Stock rises steadily for numerous days, resulting in a slow breaking out.
Then we get a 1 day very significant spike (blowoff top), which I would short at end of day.

Majority of the time, the stock then retraces about 40% of the spike in the next day or 2 for what I call easy profits.
Sometimes a lot more, but I am only looking for that quick retrace and to lock in gains.
