Covering my short position

We saw a nice trend today that I managed to capture a nice portion of. Covering here at the close.

Dear Friday traders,
Today has not given us much of volatility so far. For me the same strategy as yesterday, shorting on a downside break-out, feels like it could be useful today. I will wait and see because I at the same time I have the feeling there could be a lot to do on the upside if only the positive move somehow could be triggered.

What do you say about that fully hedged analysis? can't go wrong, right?! Blog ya soon

Covering half of the position

ERIC continues to be weak. Covering half of the position before the call procedure, and half of it in it.

Short

Forgot to update, but I shorted from 68.10 a few minutes after 4 o'clock in line with the weak outlook I described in my previous post.

Update

Back in the b again but yet no ERIC-trade today. The general trend is strong, but ERIC is so weak so weak. Wanted to short it earlier but I have to stay along the sidelines for a bit awaiting further development.

Today

I was prepared to go short, and still would on a downside break-out. Howeve it's time for me to check out from trading for a couple of days, I have some travelling to do. See you again in the middle of the week!

New week

New week, but no new trading yet. Watching ERIC B closely and I am thinking about selling it short. If it breaks below today's low my finger will most likely hit the button..
