2005 June - Brighton - My cover strategy protects my downside but divorces me from good wives

My stocks are going up. IACI and EBAY are in the money, AMZN is 15% down and SYMC is 5% above what I bought it at even though my cover has taken me out of it two weeks ago. My faith in my trend picking is restored, my point of going long seems always out by a month and my cover strategy seriously questionable although I never did get burnt by AAPL or INSP. I won a killer pool competition last night in the Polar Bar and pocketed a sweet little 20 pounds.

2005 June - What Tech stocks look good? SYMC INSP IACI. Prioritising use 50d 200d attributes rather than outer group circumstances

Which top stock is heading for their 4th dip in 4 months? I feel these are ready for reverse throws up, SYMC, INSP and IACI. They are touching their 50 day or 200 day moving averages. I will invest 150% of my portfolio for four weeks, the second week in May and then short the same stock 100% or a weak stock that is hitting its 50d or 200d moving average.

Forgive yourself for your errors. DON’T PANIC. Don’t rush to sell the next day.  The time to sell is before the crash, not after.  Instead, study your portfolio.  If you didn’t own these stocks now,  would you buy them after the market crash?
