    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.

  5. 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

    Price will go up if and when they announce the permanent plug of the well.

  10. 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.
