Playing & Trading Strategy

It's January

Posted by: JohnTEQP on Jan 09, 21:06 in response to LTSDOYCA's post Change your Strategy

I'm down about H$5 million this week, but I am attributing that partially to the fact that it's January. I haven't quite worked out the logic, but I'm just assuming that since it's a bad month for movies, it's a bad month for HSX. The best part of this argument is that there's a guaranteed end to the troubles. That would be February.

I know I'm losing over $2 million a day ($7 million yesterday). Right now I'm trying to ride it out and hope things turn around. {nm} Mojave Jan 09, 08:55

I posted on Stars about my biggest losers, all held the "right"way, and someone criticised my strategy. I have reversed and radared and BUY StarBondFund Short the Pats Jan 09, 09:57

I'm with you... I saw your post below (sure you saw mine)...I'm still 'red' every day, and if I'm 'green' it's usually just $200K or so.. Flash Jan 09, 10:24

I saw HUGE gains for weeks after the share increase. Now I'm in the same boat you are. Lost over 7 mil in 3-4 days. Rigit Jan 09, 16:36

January is generally a great time on HSX - the openers might not be much, but Christmas movies with great legs, big delists mean cash gets RogerMore Jan 10, 07:27

I can't seem to have a bad day (knock on wood). Well, maybe one or two in a couple of weeks. I'm usually not too active at trading. edzep Jan 09, 21:44

edzep, like lobogotti the other day, it sounds like you are describing my playing style ndmaster Jan 09, 22:12

This is the answer. My portfolio is growing at a rate I have never seen before, and has sustained that growth since the move to 75K limits. RogerMore Jan 10, 07:48

Oh yeah, and many traders still don't get that: about 2/3 or so of all stocks should be held SHORT. edzep Jan 10, 08:03

Traders are afraid of getting burnt if there's news and the price moves up suddenly. But it's a lot better to take the hit on breaking news RogerMore Jan 10, 08:08

Oh, one more thing - I haven't found it very helpful to go chasing the money on stocks that have already moved. RogerMore Jan 10, 08:04

Agreed. I almost never trade other than the days IPO's and can't stop making money. {nm} shadowking Jan 10, 07:57

Lost over 7 million in the past 2 weeks. The only positive has been Starbonds. {nm} laujer Jan 10, 07:32
