My 'o my, is this the start of the BK? Retail was clearly not the place to be today - TOM down 14%! Montgomery downgraded Polo, Nautica, and Hilfiger. I think LIZ crashed too? DressBarn holding up well though!<gg> I think our shorting opportunities are going to be good for a while. I'll be looking over the weekend and sharing what I find. In my trading portfolio I am long three stocks and short five. Re: good things to read. One of the best books on trading I've found is Dr. Alex Elder's Trading for a Living. I also found Trader Vic's Lesson's from a . . . . very interesting - he is a DOW theory follower and has some good insight into how the overall market behaves. I am now reading a new release (forget the authors' names and the exact title) on Electronic Daytrading -- very good explanation of the details of how the markets works. I mentioned the Yamada book to Luc in an earlier post.
