I thought you can only make 100% by shorting a stock, but you seem to be an expert,so.... By the way, if a stock goes to zero, it doesn't matter you shorted it at 100 or 10, you make the same %-wise....
so for the record... DO: up 7.1% BP: up 7.3% SLB: up 11.3% SLB was an original suggested candidate for pair with BP if one had to do something as stupid as a pair here. volatility during those 60 days: "infinite" (i.e. Sharpe ratio ZERO) bon appetit.
there's no need to have a quick trade, just wait and see how the stock increase or decrease and then I make a decision
I'm the one who booked >$6 in the first week while SLB dropped. You never actually took the bet, if you recall your BS response that you're "not recommending a trade" and both pairs are a "poor value proposition". All you can do is run your mouth w/o any skin in the game. Yeah, I lost a bet that nobody actually took... and on day 61 DO beat. You're out? I'll take action on how long it takes you to respond.
