  1. Have to go with the flow... :)

    The market seems to be going lower. Could still be a bottom here, but I don't think we'll trade above 6420 again today.

  2. The dip buying is amusing though. It's really a struggle to bring this down.

  3. Not convinced yet, but it's starting to look like a LOD, no?

    Outside 1998-99 this is the toughest short trading environment I’ve seen . it’s not that you don’t drop but the dip buying is so ferocious it’s hard to stay in a short

  7. The market really hates short sellers. Guess a few had their hopes up on that morning drop.

    These tweets don't really change anything, so when the market gets out of whack it's more often than not a good dip to buy.

  9. Surely, this has to be wrong, though. Unless you're speaking about multi-day/week holds, this market still offers good shorting opportunities. So far, today's main move was down.

    But, I feel clever short selling requires expertise to navigate as you're always at the market's mercy.

    At the start of last decade (12-13?) there were some really, really slow years where the market barely moved.

    Last year was much easier to navigate for me. I miss Biden.

    I’m talking to take shorts for 2-3 days not 2-5 hrs. I’m talking making 200 es. For instance were up 35% off Aprils lows and we’ve had very few hard multi day pullbacks .Trends down have massive bounces even when were coming off all time highs . The headline risk with Trump DAILY is unmatched . It’s just easier and lest stressful to concentrate of going long dips
