In this quick changing market the fundamentals have been forgotten at times. Money is just being poured into stocks without a reality check. The technical indicators help to pinpoint those stocks on the edge of correction or rebound. Normally, CCing a stock during normal up/down cycles is very profitable. You are correct to indicate we need to find stocks that are easy prey to the strategies. Right now, PUTs and shorting have a higher probability of success. If you are long on a stock, CCing at or in the money right now would protect downside falls. PUTs on those stocks would generate profit. We have people doing different things. We have been providing examples for everybody.
