Good morning, Mohan--

I have seen several of your postings and have been impressed with your
observations.

I agree that taking positions based SOLELY on momentum is not wise --unless one is a very nimble momentum player. But to take a position against strong momentum is suicidal.

A classic example was ZITL--a stock that was insanely valued--but to go short when it was in the midst of its move would have been costly unless one has very deep pockets and the capacity to withstand a lot of pain. Much easier to wait until the stock turned and then go short -- even if not at the top.

I am watching JBIL--and waiting for it to turn--to take a short position.
