Neither of these shorts are good enough to be worth large positions. Like I keep saying, every time I take a short, these will be very small shorts and well under 1% of my total accounts. The markets are continuing to have bullish intraday outcomes and some indexes like the Nasdaq 100 and IBD 100 are still hitting new highs. So shorting is still not my preferred way of making money. Especially since I am finding so few FAF, COH, and SHOO’s compared to BA’s and AXP’s. The first three make plenty of money to cover the losses but the odds are still more shorts failing than working. Since it is still almost every 3 longs working for every one that fails, the long side will continue to be the favored side. Keep these small.
