Playing & Trading Strategy

question <inside>

Posted by: JustWondering (a.k.a psisson) on Jul 04, 13:34 in response to RotoHockeyYTD2013MainPort's post RIGHT ON. <INSIDE>.

I just can't seem to figure out which stocks to hold long. It goes against logic to short a stock with a release date, especially when it seems like their is the potential for growth. You hold only 66 stocks long, how did you determine which ones to hold long?

I have had good results holding nearly all development stocks short but also holding the majority of stocks with a release date long. My growth is only half of yours, so I'm tempted to use the nuclear option and hold nearly everything short. I just can't decide how to determine which ones to hold long.

Thanks!

I wouldn't short _every_ movie. More inside DTravel Jul 04, 10:27

Agreed, you can short everything and make a profit long term, but what would you make if you shorted the RIGHT ones? More, that's what. Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Jul 04, 14:02

Look at the long term charts and don't fight the players. Review, monitor, and flip as needed if the wind direction changes. {nm} Awards Fund Jul 04, 13:59

It's not the "ROTO SHORT" strategy. You did not invent this. It's been around a lot longer than you. Short strategy, slow bleeders etc... Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Jul 04, 14:00

Thank you for that. I didn't know about KaiGee's charts {nm} JustWondering Jul 04, 17:37

Didn't know I had a method named after me. {nm} KaiGee Jul 04, 19:03

Oh, sure...it's all the rage now. If you don't have one named after you, just take an existing one, add an adjective and rename it.. {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Jul 05, 13:51
