Jan, I was busy with amzn today. - shorted 200 at 103 1/2 then covered at 102 1/4. The stock ran down to 101 after that. I thought gee, this is pretty good. lets try that again. - shorted 300 at 103 7/16. the stock would not come down at all. Kept going up. eventually covered it at 107. Loss. - while it was going up, I bought (shame, shame) long 1000 shares at 105 13/16. Sold them later at 108 3/8. - shorted 300 shares at 108 1/2. covered at 107 3/8. - shorted 400 at 108 3/4, covered at 107 3/8. - shorted 400 at 109 1/8, covered at 108, it ran down to close at 106 1/2 I guess these don't really add up to 10k shares. But it seemed like it at the time. But really this was mostly experiment to see if I really could pick the turning points. Today was more of a yo-yo than usual.
