yes, me too.

this is a recent position trade of mine.
been shorting it since $ 170.
upgrades and strong buy reiterations by analysts were coming each and every day around $ 160-170... ($ 40 billion market cap)

there was a similar obvious setup on the VRSN chart, a big, obvious and very bearish evening star on september 29 at $ 210 (price today: $ 96).

i think identifying and trading these OBVIOUS setups as multi-day (even multi-month) position trades is better than daytrading.
there's always one of these obvious formations somewhere at any given time.

Thanks again for the link/chart. I'll be interested to see any others you come up with.>>

Eric,

perfect description, thanks.
Amazing thing is, this chain of events hasn't changed since... like forever. Tape Reading & Market Tactics, 1931 and Studies in Stock Speculation, 1924 describe similar mechanics... I am sure there are others.
