I posted my trades here, either real time or close to real time. The reason I haven't posted lately is because I haven't traded Yahoo! since I went long when it broke out at the start of December. There was plenty of opportunity for profit on the short side. I have a very simple rule that when the market hands me a 20% profit in one day I take it. That's on a long or short position. Sorry that you're so cynical. Some people actually do make money trading, and those that do have a specific investing discipline. If I wanted to fib about my position I could just as easily say I have been long since 55 3/8. I didn't have to post real time that I sold at 56 3/8 because I wouldn't suffer the risk of holding this stock long. Then I could have posted it if the stock went down, or I could even claim that I was still long. But that wouldn't accomplish a thing, now would it? Barb!
