  2. clarification

    if market is up,
    stock is close to buying point -> buy

    if market is up
    no stocks to buy on your list -> do nothing


    if market is down
    stock is close to shorting point -> short

    is market is down
    no stocks to short on your list -> do nothing

    It is time to filter out all the greed trades and focus on the money ones.

    We continue the process.

    Was confused for a second because of both buy and short stocks on hand.

  5. 1. get a quality universe of stocks sorted (long only, KiSS for now)
    2. check for repeated high money velocity cycles in your sorted list
    3. of those that pass 1 and 2, be ready to enter stocks that are or have just started another cycle.

    you can do all the above on an EOD basis

    you have not seen how the market works as of yet, and it's obvious.

    do you understand how the Price Volume cycle works?

    i am not one of your detractors.

    pm me if you would like some reading material.

  7. I know what I'm doing, its just not executing perfectly these few days. and I'm going in and out too much because

    shorting is quite volatile

    , buts its being done because this is an exquisite day to be shorting home builders.

    For the long term.


    You don't need to repeat Grob109's stuff to me :) I know it.

  8. Market not in downtrend anymore

    02/27/06 13:58:00 BOUGHT LEN Market Day Executed @ 60.50
    02/27/06 13:55:00 BOUGHT KBH Market Day Executed @ 68.5099


    Wonder if I can ever get on this short,
    Will think about the short technique now, flat now.

    Too choppy without real selling pressure.
