You are right, of course. What could I have been thinking of, trying to short justabid.com, one of America's best run, most dynamic, up and coming micro companies? How fortunate I was that no shares were available!

re:They attribute his success to luck.
But how come he keeps repeating his luck over and over?
The answer is obvious to all but an envious few.


oh lighten up
I am on record as a huge fan of Justa's trading skills and have said reading what he writes is a major reason for my coming back to this thread. No argument that he is good. My point was he might be better than another that left here to much fan fare in the press (Anthony@Pacific) who gets a ton of money for having a trading site.

My quip about the earthquake making the trade 75% luck was just that, a quip. ALWAYS helps to have a bit of luck on your side. I remain unconvinced it was a good trade until he closes out the shorts or the stocks break out of their short term trading range to the downside.

Justabid has my attention as I will keep checking in to see the status of the master trader's most recent trades.
