The housing start numbers came out lower than expected and today is a slow news day. That gives traders all day to think about profit taking.
Alright I may close out my long FAS positions this morning and buy into FAZ... we'll see what happens after a couple of minutes of market opening.
Yep just sold all FAS..... better to take a smaller hit than a bigger hit. I took everyone's advice and sold before I incurred bigger losses. Considering FAZ....
I am long on FAS....I would have bought it sub $10, but I was away from my desk when that happened the last time this morning.
I think i'd buy FAS long if it drops to yesterday's open price... but for now, nothing seems to be happening so I'll stay in cash.
I just put in a 15 cent trailing stop, I am getting out at the top of this rise whatever it is....yes I am burning a day trade, but this is a quick gain, and I can't ignore it.
Ah well, I could have sold for 10.70, but hesitated because I didn't want to loose potential profits. Looks ike that was the top of this rize. I got stopped out at 10.55 for +2.22%
