    Short ENB through the earnings.
    Betting on the "tariffs are bad" theme.

    Shorts in themselves aren't better than longs.
    What matters is the what, where & when.

    Technical, fundamental, momentum ...
    Mean reversion, long, short ...
    Day trade, swing trade ...

    Intellectual segregation !

    Commander Trump negotiates like a street fighter, or an angry bull. He comes at you like you just stole something out of his living room. It's Alexander the Great level aggression, and puts his enemies a half second behind. But it can backfire......

    You don't need to read the entire dotarded book, just the inside covers, to see what he's going to do. Good cop bad cop in one diabolical personality. Markets will explode further when all this blows over, like everything else the blowhard tries to do.

    That is why you long the index, not companies that are in the index. Derp!

    Of course they will explode, just like they exploded when Sleepy Joe was in ... and Obama ... and Bush yada yada. They do that until ..... they don't. I'm thinking end of term, in the year 2029. Reminds me of something but I can't quite put my finger on it.

    First post emphasis on second only

    IOW it is foolish to only go long since price goes up and down of course. Or only go short, for that matter.

    I don't sit around and wait for price to go back up - and decide ok now it is safe for me to go long.

    Get a setup, either direction, and let stops do their work.

    Come on ese, you're going to encourage moms, dads and their kidz to try and short a market that keeps going up? That's irresponsible and downright cruel. Please think of the innocent victims of your careless comments!

    I don't give a flyin' fack bout dem lol.

    Does the guy who is responsible for all this insane volatility - that I love BTW?

    My trading horizon begins and ends the same day. And the market doesn't only go up in that timeframe.

    So are you implying you don't go short?
