Slider, yah yah but what is the timing?

I shorted ACF and CCR last go round, made good coin but covered ACF too darn soon. Won't make the same mistake twice (I hope).

I don't know. I'm looking for a double top on CCR here at 55 or 55 plus. Figure it time to toe in there and then skalp a little and build a position.

Sound reasonable? Any other good mortgage related shorts? Will mortgage issues outshine homebuilders?

When the next downturn starts I'm going to implement a slightly different strategy re shorts, compared to the last leg down. Going to hunt for what I perceive weak stocks and build a max margin short position. My equity will be in longs, gold, hopefully. I then plan to maintain a max margin short position until I think the next wave down is ovah. Going down I'll rotate the shorts from the ones hit to ones that have not yet been hit. Primarily in the DOW and S&P most likely. These two indexes need to get taken out.

I left way too much coin on the short table last inning.

Going to outsmart myself?
