Yo_ Glenn Norman >Please explain to me why you are willing to take profits on violent UPSWINGS but not on violent DOWN SWINGS I prefer to avoid the risk when shorting such a violent stock, because in the LONG run I think the trend is higher. I just feel (and have been correct) I can prosper more by trading it on the long side vs just holding on. Once earnings start to roll in and if they are near expectations I will likely buy and hold. I hope that isn't hard to understand. > . I was thinking about your 70 -20 -10 system last Friday when the markets were skyrocketing up and RAMBUS was trading down at 66. If your 70 -20 -10 is so absolute. NEVER said it is absolute. Just a better barometer than anything else around that I have seen. I do at times short stocks, just not Rambus. Don
