i did a breakdown, since my last post..
1 sh of ea doom pick..=$119.
since most soes people and daytraders use round lots of 1,000 i will use such in my analysis.
$119k short requires $60 k of cash.
so we started with $60k..
today we have: athm 38.125 vs 21=+17.125 +80%
btim 9 7/8 vs 17= -7.25 = -40%
tcoma 33 3/8 vs 30= +3.375= +11%
trbo same
zitl 7 15/16 vs 12= -4= -33%
(there was a squeeze to 16?}
zona 38 5/8 vs 21= +17.625=+80%
tally
sold for 119k (margined $60k)
covered today @ close=159 13/16 (roughly) call it $160k
160k minus 120k=(giving you the extra k) $40k lost...
umm.. 33% left of 100%.
the squeezes may have forced people out @ the highs...due to margin.
short selling the doom index is dangerous.
-66% in a few months ain't a good fund manager.
sorry,
taxi
