    Booker007, what is the reason for specifying FV? Justification of long:short ratio?

  4. Yes. I know some people tweek their FV so I figured I would just post mine.

    No trades yesterday but it looked like it would of been another good open.

    As for today I was 2:1 short and had FV = +0.588%

    Hi, Don,

    I'm new to the OPG, but familiar with the concept. But I am confused with selecting stocks with the NEWS or without NEWS. Because stocks with News always moves up and down wildly, and have a large GAP. Any reply is appreciated! Thanks!

  8. We "read" the news, make a determination at that point...to be extra cautious, just take the symbol out. Earnings are something we generally take out for.

    Don (I'm back in the office, will post up openngs starting tomorrow).

    Quiet open, 1 fill short, +0.075/sh avg
    FV -0.360%
    news can cut both ways, most of the time it's a tossup
