Ever wonder what happened to the momentum in one of your stocks?? Well...I like to call them the DARK SIDE OF THE MARKET. . .but they are better known as short sellers. Borrowing shares to sell high, then covering by buying the shares lo and profiting the difference. Thanks to Anthony's thread here on SI, I was able to scarf up his record for the past month. Not bad for the dark side. Notice most start with SELL at the high, then buy comes in low. . . opposite of the "traditional" way to trade.. .but very effective for strong gains. Once a stock has skyrocketed north and the buying dries up, guess where it is headed? Well here is the record, thanks to Anthony's thread: Starting Nov30,1998 1.) Sell TCTV @ 25 -Buy @ 7 1/4 2.)
