Closing Comments
Many of you probably think I am out of my fucking mind. For the last week or so, I have been uber bullish and have been buying as many high multiple tech stocks I could muster-- even an airline stock. Then, towards the end of trading today, I fucking bailed on many positions and went short SIRF.
My reasoning is simple:
I don't want to be the last bull at the party, ever. I am not stupid. I see the market declining and perhaps a change in sentiment, so I reacted. If I were to just sit and watch my positions decline, then I would never outperform.
In short, I am at my best when I react to a shifting market, instead of riding it out.
So, for now, I will continue to hold the majority of my long positions and add a few shorts to the mix "just in case."
Frankly, I thought today's dip was different from the others, as the asshole dip buyer was absent from the action.
My current bear watch list includes:
MNST, SIRF, ATHR, RACK, CROX, LRCX, SLAB, ANAD, CCJ and TSCM.

I was looking foward to one of you great disclosure laugh lines...I mean do you know you could have written for the big one...Johnny carson-- really very funny stuff!
Just one question --is the CMX/CVS good news for managed care health insures like UNH and my fav ci and wlp...I mean it looks like they may be a price war- that means lower prices for companies like Wellpoint?
non event cut esrx down a bit, no? bmet was a layup, rare to see a publication like the FT bang the table on a takeover. Should have 6 to 9% upside from here.
