I have 1000 shares short on Panda. I bought 1000 at 3.75 and another 1000 at 4.5. I sold 1000 at 6.5. So I guessI made 2k on PNDA going long. I'm hoping for a good show tommorrow -if we get a spike on Monday I'll sell the other 1k.
The reason I recommend holding on to your short is that last time I covered was in December at about 3.5. When the stock spiked to 6.5+ in Jan I tried to short but I didn't get an order accepted until about 5.5.
Another reason I was holding on to the short was I saw this one as a terminal and I thought I would be able to pocket the profits without paying cap gains. One of your friends pointed out that that tax-hole loop has gone.
Nevertheless, I would keep the short position open - and try to short on a high and buy on a low.
Crane is the king of hypemeister (but the story is predictable)- and my percentage returns on this one are pretty ridiculous (long and short). My thanks goes to Drakes.
PS Did you ever here of the "New Competitors" - it would be great if it was one of those "paid advertisement" jobs.
