Hahaha, you got me! yeah, I covered half today just out of habit. I believe if you have a 30% loss, you should not double down, but close that position when you were clearly wrong. I still believe this is a great short, but with so little stock around and no coverage, anything can happen. the news around the stock is not so great, and it's price is too far ahead of others in this sector, but I was obvioulsy wrong to go short despite it's history of seasonal price movement to the contrary. This ADR is spooky. I did'nt even see my trade on the real time even though it clearly went off, and the way it shows volume even when the orders are cancelled is another strange thing that makes trading this stock dangerous. I hope people who I encouraged to take profits after earnings at $24 are not too sore at me. It seemed like the best course of action at the time. Really little has changed since, but there simply was not the amount of selling pressure that I though I could count on to get the price down after earnings. Perhaps the lack of coverage is to blame, as the stock as an earnings play by short termers went unnoticed, so there simply were fewer people likely to sell.
