WS - I closed almost all my tech shorts at the the low today, puts and everything. Finally feel like I am doing something right after tons of agony this year. Shorted CERN at the open and held. THANKS! Also held HD short from 49 or so and ALOY from 15. My position sizes are a little wierd. Not based on % of my acct but based on a personal fear factor of what might happen if insanity prevails. NVDA was not in any circumstances going to rise another 20-30% in a couple days against me (after a huge rise already from 70 to 88). Look at NLI just keeps bucking the trend. ALOY, NTAP, RMBS (today if one was not watching close) etc can. So I tend to just short a certain set number of shares that rises with my confidence factor, rather than a % number. Shorted a double position of CERN at the open and after closing the rest of my stuff, added to CERN short. M
