I was asked by someone why I don't buy 10,000 shares of a stock.. and to be perfectly honest Ihave absolutely no confidence that where the money is routed and how I get the fill or if I get stuck with 6,000 shares of INTC in a plunging market. I don't use increments more than 1,000 and option puts are only up to 15.. and that's usually on my second strike price. I don't make as much, but the confidence is high, and you can trade with less emotion if you utilize risk management and trade a lot less than you can afford. I am usually underextended in everything moneywise... I like to see the cash and not the stock.

JNPR, SDLI tomorrow should be a field day if you are short. CMVT earnings out on December 5, gives us two more days of anticipatory downswing. Look for more downside tomorrow, its trying but it has to contend with much of the same pressures that LU dealt with. Any flare up in the Pacific Rim and any potential problem going forward will be magnfied in this market climate. On a stronger note, ADCT did not have its proper upside today, it could move better in a stronger market climate. How to trade tomorrow.. If I were short I would cover in the first reversal period (9:50 - 10:10) and by 10:15 there might, just might be a rally, but only if key market indicators are moving up, the financials are doing okay, and keep an eye on the TRIN.. and tick. Look for the 'strong' stocks that have been killed.. Otherwise another idea is to forget going long if the trend seems tenous and the volume indicators are low, and just short into the rally.. There will be enough signs to light the way.
