8th Nov 2010 – SHORTIE Mind Set.

Going SHORT is much more difficult and dangerous then going long.

My problem when come to SHORT

 

Item

Attitude

1

CONSOLIDATION <> WEAKNESS

-- Don't confuse between consolidation and weakness.

-- Below 50MA line has more weakness.

-- Breaking pattern such as Head-n-Shoulder will help to increase probability of success.

-- Above 50MA line tends to consolidate.

2

MIND SET CHANGE

-- If stock reverse and become strong, consider to go long.

3

BIG PICTURE IN MIND

-- When indexes are bullish. Try not to do shorting without very good reasons.

4

HIGH GO HIGHER

-- Don't short just because it is high.

-- The high will tend to go higher.

5

DON'T GO AGAINST FASHION

-- Shorting stock like AAPL GOOG when its product is still in fashion is like suicide.

-- Should always go long for fashion stock until downturn confirmed.
