Contrarian Investing and When to Sell?

For me this can also be when does one sell short?

You sell, or sell short, when a stock is overbought. I look for selling opportunities when stocks, sector indices and major indices are overbought and market breadth is weak on an advance. I look to sell when RSI(14) has neared 70. On Friday I shorted the SMH. There are plenty of negative divergences present and the NASDAQ and NDX both had closing doji's with RSI(14) nearing 70 in each case.

Take a look at some of the negative divergences present for the SMH:



You might also want to check sentiment on stocks or ETF's that you are considering buying or selling. Is there an unsually high amount of puts or calls for your stock. How about current analysts ratings.

Schaeffer's does a pretty good job on giving an overview.
