<< Hi Craig, I have finally joined SI--part beacause your negative comments on COMS :)--Do you want to short COMS again in the range of 35-38? And do you plan to cover your short before 12/18, or after 1/1 (do you still hold your short position?) ? >> Yes I still hold my short position and I decide whether or not to cover or not on a day to day basis. If I had it my way COMS wouldn't see 38 again and I would be shorting more on the way down not the way up. But the sad reality is COMS is showing better relative strength than the rest of the group. I picked the wrong one out of the group to short. (In this latest round. I made plenty shorting COMS a month ago.) I was always taught to short the weakest in the group not the strongest. IMO COMS is the weakest along with CS and C$CO is the strongest. Yet C$CO (due to high valuation) is making the shorts the most money. You win some and you lose some...
