Will try to cover NVAX tomorrow @ 4.20 if I have the chance with a nice gain of less than 25% ;) ;)

Never shorted a stock myself, but recently made a nice one day gain playing a bounce on ESCL.  But their parent company has been investigated for fraud, word has it they wont have much business without them.  The bounce came on them saying they were not being accused of anything themselves, but class action suits are coming in heavy, and its hard to see what more they can do to fix things from here.

So, again I have no experience shorting and would suggest anyone who wants to short this does some serious DD, but thought I would throw it out there as an idea.
Chance favors the prepared mind

Anybody shorting FITB??

I probably will if it doesn't gap down too much. I rather see it go up closer to the 200 MA for a better entry.

The stock broke support and trendline. It is now trading underneath MA's. Wish me luck ;)

rafael

p.s. the market is set to open up a bit higher, this might enable us to get the entry price we need

FITB looks like a good short...
As you said, broke support...
MACD looks bearish
ADX below 20
RSI just above oversold... good entry point...

Good luck ... I might sell short too...

Up and down it goes, where it ends nobody knows....Or do we.....;)

Keep ESLR on your watchlist for short next day or two might be a good time to enter. Shorting in the 13s looks good set a stop in the high 13s or at 14.

STP looks good for a short. Released nice earnings today stock popped up +19% but hit strong resistance line at 32.90. I would try to short STP near the top resistance. Set a tight stop!

scratch STP shorting for today... To many shorts are covering just blew thru resistance. Put on watchlist might be a good short in 2 days or so watch the movement at 34.77 if it can not break thru it will eventually fall if the market keeps up with the way its acting. 34.70-35.00 looks like the next good area to short put a tight stop on this guy.

Also watch DHI for a shorting oppertunity, its up over 1.5% today if market goes red expect this to tank. Looks like a good entry between 28 and 29. (Im shorting atm at 27.97)

echo

Covered ANDE for a 12% gain in one day! I didn't expect to drop that much, wow!

Still shorting DHI, FITB, POWI.

Long: ACTG, ALTI

I'm 50% cash.

There's always a bull market somewhere and I promise to bla bla bla bla........

I shorted more DHI today at 28.25. Im now shorting DHI, CA, and FITB. What are you guys shorting? Post your short picks and what you may enter lets try to make money here  ;D

I am shorting IPAS and GIGM...
GIGM - rasing wedge and IPAS a flag...

cheers

Again, market took a beating... I'm still trying to short GIGM, still no shares available in my broker.... I believe GIGM is trying to close the GAP around $8 area ;)

Shorting Opportunities:

TXT: Broke 50sma, negative MACD, Topping out $96+
URS: Top end of ascending channel, 10% gain target on pullback to bottom of channel
CHD: Bearish 50/200 cross, 10% gain target on pullbacl to support
HANS: TAke a look at the TIE chart, then predict what HANS 'could do' Huge volume increase might be setting up blow off top after massive extended run.
XLTC: Tight stop above $30 may seek to fill the gap and a bit more 10% gain target.
ZLC: Bad news all round on this company, making some sort of dead cat bounce, might be nice to short into the strength. I have this short on a tight stop just above $25.
DHI: Already mentioned I have this short from around $29.

I used 1 year weekly charts to make first pass on the above list.

Good luck
