QLD, etc in my IRA account. Individual stocks often provide a more obvious setup for a move when the market is weak but not breaking down, so I do watch for individual stocks to short as well. I'm sure you saw MGPI on my list the other day. In general I don't watch short ideas too close unless the market is feeling very weak.<BR/><BR/>Nice job on your short trades, you chose a good time to be short!<BR/><BR/>Good luck.John Gilnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10763998021498369864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138923447766791876.post-39785081306227196222007-06-08T04:17:00.000-07:002007-06-08T04:17:00.000-07:00Hey John, here's a question and maybe some comment...Hey John, here's a question and maybe some comments too...<BR/><BR/>Everybody has their own trading styles. My shorting this week has worked splendidly - I've been shorting the airlines, and the market downturn was just an added bonus.<BR/><BR/>What's your vehicle for shorting the market? QQQQ's or QLD's, etc? Or individual stocks with charts you like?<BR/><BR/>I had MGPI on my watchlist yesterday. I'll probably leave it there on the theory that stocks which held up well yesterday may be more vulnerable - assuming the market continues down this morning.<BR/><BR/>thanks,<BR/>john h.john hatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915063407562886561noreply@blogger.com
