When the markets opened down 200+ points Monday, I did what my years of trading told me to......I covered all my shorts. Then, knowing that history repeats itself, I followed a long saying on Wall Street...When there is blood in the streets...BUY!!!!!! People....it just doesn't get easier. Recognize patterns, watch things happen over and over again. I covered all my shorts and got long the likes of LEH, GS, AIG, BAC, MER and even JPM. I am not planning on holding these long, but I am up 40% in some of these stocks.
I also got out of the trade rather quickly and made 12% on that trade on a rally. I got long C below $24 on a big down day. Know whats going on before you start throwing stones. So don;t think you so smart tough guy!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, you are are right...back in September I did recommend on heree that people short CROX when it was above $60. www.belowtopsecret.com...
Like I said earlier. Time to get long the US. Short the Euro, short the Real Short the Yuan short the Yen.
Buy nice dividend paying stocks here in the US and buy companies with strong balance sheets and solid cash flows.
This has been my best 12 months of trading ever, and I no longer trade full time. Do yourself a favor, and make a few trades. If you think the dollar is still going down, there are lots of ways to bet on it........ Lets see how good you are....
I am just completely sick and tired of all the damn negativity on these boards.

My trades are paying big dividends. I have hedged almost all of my bets through Options, so anything I get now....is total gravy.
It really is easy people if you do a little homework and recognize patterns.
I know its only week since I made the post, but the US economy is on its way to recovery. You can all say you heard it here first.
Long live the US....Long live the dollar!!!!!!
Commodity prices coming in, and stocks have fallen in sync. I have hedged my shorts and once I cover, I will probably get long for the bounce rally.
I am still long the financials, but properly hedged. I am also long big caps. The good dividend payers. BUT, I will not hesitate to exit my positions and turn my trades around. In all honesty these last 9 months have been not just awesome trading months, but fun too. Makes me want to reconsider my career choice and get active again in full time trading. OK, 5 minutes are up.....never gonna do that again.
Back to risk management!
Not to toot my own horn............but....I sure hope everyone has been long stocks since I first said it was time to start getting back in!!!!!!!
Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!
Why is everyone complaining, I am making tons of good trades out there. Not flipping stocks, but shorting and holding and buying and holding. Do you homework people. It is easy to make money from BOTH sides of any market.
Chris. hope you have been buying financials. I got long LEH at $23.89. How insane is that????? Of course I protected my self through options, as it was a risky trade then. Gotta love America!!!!!
See...people like you who complain and complain about the way things never get ahead in life. I guess thats why you complain so much.
I have tried on many posts to educate people about investing and all I get is people screaming at me.... Maybe everyone else should get their heads out of the sand and start doing something about it and not just writing about it on blogs.
While you are all out there bad mouthing America, I am letting America work for me. These are some of the best trading times I have ever seen. It has never been this easy. First you ride them all the way down, then you ride whats left....back up.....at least up off the bottom. Seriously people. You are all missing some good trades here.
2) Behavior: You will not behave in an abusive, hateful and/or racist manner, and will not harass, threaten, nor attack anyone.

We MUST:
Make money a thing that the public can create, not private banks. Either way money has to be created somewhere, better that it be a publicly accountable, controllable, and issuable place rather than a secretive, scarce, easily manipulated, and interest-bearing debt as the banks are doing right now.
