forgett about the freakin top... if the stock is bullish buy it and keep it till it starts going down.
The quicker these moves, the harder this thing will fall. Think back to May it spent almost 2 months climbing 20 pts and in two weeks gave it all back. :eek: Easy sell signal would be a gap up open 1-2 pts up here. But a short from 175ish has great odds of being profitable a few days out imo, just short more if it spikes to 180 .. but shopping for cheap options is more work.
Since their positive earnings release in early September, the stock has formed a sort of half-arch shape and it's rallied off the top of the arch today (10/3). I've often seen stocks rally off of that half-arch shape and, when they do, they seem to rally strongly. I'd look for something else to short right at the moment. GS will pull back eventually but I don't think that's going to happen in the immediate future. There's probably some technical term for the rally off the half-arch but I don't know what it is. I remember seeing it in AET several years ago.
