If you gave one page to the reason, the entry, the exit, and the review of each trade, it would be much easier to understand what you are doing. As it is, one has to keep track of what you are trading and the buy explanation and sell explanation are several days apart. It's almost as if you don't want us to see the result of you trades!

Interactive Brokers makes it tedious to summarize those results. also, i noticed (perhaps incorrectly) that I have 45k of long positions and 3k of short positions. are you bullish now that the nasdaq has rallied 55% off it's lows? It would be great if you explained your reason for being so bullish - in April you called this a bear rally and kept on going long on the ultrashorts. That's the kind of stuff that we like to read about - why you are bullish;/bearish - and then a followup on how those trades worked out. As William O'Neil says, it's important to review your mistakes. You could have a 'spreadsheet' page where you list the stock, percentage of position, entry date/price, exit date/price, gain/loss, and then a link to a page where you explain why you bought the position and why you sold it. This list would obviously be sorted with the most recent trades at the beginning. I'd also have the list separated by month - where the current month includes all open positions and positions closed for that month.

Thanks!

It's probably the hedge funds that have the media printing the articles so that they can keep prices down while they load up on shares. My guess is that my prediction that the market correct when the nasdaq reaches the 200-day MA is wrong - maybe it's the SP500.

I'm still overseas and don't read the news.

You did a great job on getting into this short at the resistance point. I'm not sure how important the fundamental reasons are for shorting this stock unless you plan on keeping the short for quite a while. It seems like a good short because: stock is near resistance. Nasdaq hit 200-day MA, stock is very overbought, and (as mentioned above), it's broken it's 60-min. trendline. I'd say - get out at 38 - although there is a very good chance it will go to 35.4 just my opinion, michael Fri, 1 May 2009 15:03:56 +0000 http://www.horowitzandcompany.com/tdimg_blog/2009/04/30/short-retailers-joseph-a-banks-josb/#IDComment20361851 http://www.horowitzandcompany.com/tdimg_blog/2009/04/27/weekly-update-wild-swings/#IDComment20035029 Andrew, This rally is reminiscent of the rally off the last bear market lows - the one from Oct to Dec 2002. In this first rally, if I remember correctly, the stocks that had phenomenal returns (and probably the one's feeding the rally) were the beaten down ones - GLW (1.1-4), JDSU (12-27), YHOO (4-9), BRCM (6-14) and countless others. Then, the market consolidated the gains and took off 4 months later - when the real 'growth companies' took off according to IBD. It would be interesting to figure out how the statistics you mention above relate to that prior initial rally? If I remember correctly, the talking heads on FNN, etc. were using the 'high PE' argument to back their argument that the market couldn't be turning around already. I also remember that one person I watched claimed that this is the start of a bull market rally and his argument was that an exceedingly high percentage of stocks were ABOVE some moving average - possibly the 50-day MA. Of course, that person was correct. I'd like to also note that the Nasdaq when from it's bottom to it's 200-day MA within a meager 8 weeks. It seems that if we are heading to that point also.
