At present I mostly shorted stocks after fast runups.

The only real burners were ZOLT and ENVY, so far.
Big caps.
I missed shorting BRCM, or the financials recently, name here PVN, only to enter PVN at 77 and Bankers Trust when the phony Deutsche Bank merger story was published.

Currently im looking for short INKT and kept CNWK.

For smaller caps other strategies are necessary due to the high volatility. For shorting it a ladder with sufficient number of steps. Say 3/16 for stocks in the 6-9 range (I tried this out on the legendary GMGC runup then at ABTE and SRCM, as long thre were share to lend.

I am surprised that something like BTIM or MCHM could run that far, I always closed the positions beyond 5 to keep purchasing power. As for NEOT, a buck for 1k shares is also neat cash.

Currently I ENML, MCHM are to look at but only when momentum dries up.

My IAI/Janssen-Meyers/Dreyfus short list initially set up in June on Mr. A. research is still worth a look and paying out trading money.
