![GOOG 1-4-08 to 3-10-08]()
by Big Wave Trader | Nov 29, 2008
GOOG was a nice short but due to the low volume I was unable to “load up” and really make the short worth my while. However, the price rollover and breakdown, with the bear market starting, was a near-perfect short setup price wise. The stock subsequently...
![CBEY 1-7-08 to 3-10-08]()
by Big Wave Trader | Nov 29, 2008
CBEY was a great short but the huge gain in a short time was not expected. What is worse is that, once again, I mismanaged this one and instead of waiting for a HUGE volume surge over the 50 DMA and/or a move above the 200 DMA, I did cover with a move over the 50 DMA....
![SIGM 2-19-08 to 4-15-08]()
by Big Wave Trader | Nov 29, 2008
SIGM was a fabulous short that was mismanaged by myself in this bear market. I should still be short and would have a 80%+ return at the lows in November from the time I first went short. However, I had to admit it was still very nice to be short a stock that managed...
![GRMN 1-8-08 to 4-30-08]()
by Big Wave Trader | Nov 28, 2008
I decided to start this series off with a recent winner from the start of our current downtrend. Why I want to start with this is to teach you how to not mismanage a short. This short in a short three months and two weeks returned a very impressive 49%. This was a...
![XCO 5-30-08 to 7-1-08]()
by Big Wave Trader | Aug 17, 2008 |
Event though I knew oil was topping (review my comments in the market commentaries when oil topped) soon, I know that some of the best big winners are the late stocks that make big surges. XCO bounced right off the 50 DMA, had strong fundamentals, and as you can see...
![DGLY 4-16-08 to 5-14-08]()
by Big Wave Trader | Jul 13, 2008
This stock is nothing short of a disappointment and sums up 2008. This has been BY FAR one of the best setups and one of the most correct executions of a new long since the consistency stopped in early 2007. However, after ONLY one month, the move that APPEARED to be...
