Hi Joe. I'm more of a daytrader than a position trader, but I do hold stuff overnite a lot--but only in the direction of a steep trend (3 day moving average). Anyways, just looking at a downward channel on COMS, I decided to cover at $25 7/8. I was early, but I made good money. I'm looking to reshort tomorrow on a rally to $27 or something. My downside target is still nominally $24 even. I'm sure you guys have thought I was crazy before trying to call bottoms and tops. I took some heat when I suggested that people sell on the earnings news and then again at $30. I'm certainly not always right--but hopefully I'm playing with the odds squarely in my favor. You'll see a consolidation zone when it gets down to $24. You'll see a few false rallies before it actually rallies. I'm not going to predict that COMS will break through support--that goes against the odds.
