Is it ever advantageous to re-invest in something? Let me explain

Posted by: CP7x77 on Nov 20, 08:59

If you short something at 20 and it goes to 15 if you re-short it you essentially bank the accumulated money. Right? Does this work for longs as well? I'm just not sure I'm thinking about this correctly.

If I read this correctly... eyescovered Nov 20, 09:19

This is my take too. Covering and re-shorting shorts is fine, if you want to free up cash and don't mind paying commission. RogerMore Nov 20, 10:17

This is quite inaccurate. First of, selling from a long while it's sinking, typically helps on your daily profit, Secondly, the cash you Facto Nov 20, 10:37

But that's not what he's asking. He is asking whether selling a stock, banking the profits and rebuying the stock immediately is a good idea {nm} RogerMore Nov 20, 13:54

I don't think re-investing pays off... lapuckfan Nov 20, 09:54

Here's my take Lib84 Nov 20, 10:37

I would agree, but if you make more than enough to cover the commission and still pull profit, it's still good for shorts, but... CP7x77 Nov 20, 14:23

Sure, look at a movie like Bruno it was easy to take the profits from the short and then reshort from all the bad numbers. damenchipguy Nov 20, 14:28

Seriously, 2012 will never go anywhere near that low... You still have some work to do before you are fully seasoned, it seems :-)) {nm} Facto Nov 20, 22:14

Got that right I am dumping at 140, holding way better than I thought. It looks like lack of DC instead of quality of movie {nm} damenchipguy Nov 21, 14:41
