Ideas for shorting...

I would think that if I were to short AMAT I would try to put the odds in my favor.

1) stay away from Monday's and Friday's

2) Short on the third consecutive strong up day. (for AMAT or NVLS)

3) Limit short positions to the middle of the month, where new directions are uncertain.

4) Short positions can only be temporary whereas long positions can be of a long duration.

5) Watch the vol. on AMAT and other leaders. Watch up coming news events (like INTC's mid quarter conference call today)

Be nervous about it all....get in and get out because this is a bullish market.

Ignore any advice from posters like me....)

Regards, Jerome
