Here is what that percentage means on a Pick Question: What do you mean with the percentages? Eg: OMGA<-------SELL/SHORT @ 13 another 25% What does another 25% mean? Answer: 25% means to only put 25% of the total amt. that you have allocated for any one stock pick...on that stock at that time. Of your total portfolio, a 100% position on a stock should not be more than 8% roughly. Somewhere from 5-8% of total portfolio. So, 25% would be 1-1/2 to 2% of your total portfolio. Averaging in....always careful....leaving you happy so you can sleep. and: the % ,is the % amount of the total # of shares/$ you should be willing to short in the co. to give the total trade the best chance of being profitable or minimize losses and: -8%...maybe less. But almost never more. Or in share amt...as Anthony said, if you have 250k, then 1-2000 shares for most of the recs. is usually good.
