Ah, TVIX did a reverse split and has become the preferred instrument to short once again. DGAZ as well.

LARGE buy order for XIV at $71.00 if I can get it filled.
Moving this up to $72.50 since XIV seems to be defying gravity.

STO 200 shares of FIZZ at $71.33.
Will add another 200 shares short at $76.25 if needed.
Added another 200 shares - now short 400 shares at $73.77.
+++++
Out at $77.57 for a loss of $1522 after commissions. This is my first short trade for a loss in the last 40 short trades. Not sure what is driving this one - certainly not volume, which has steadily decreased since I entered the trade. Live and Learn.

FIZZ.....shorting when there's no overhead supply is a killer. Most investors will be holding tight while adjusting stops. Lets see what happens when it approaches $80.

Hi JP,
Can you look at your AAPL chart and tell me if that was a buy or sell on AAPL at the open this morning?
Does it tell you the size?

FIZZ: Besides blow away earnings it seems the co does uncommon things to commit shareholders like paying higher dividends to shareholders that have held longer.

Kevin, having noticed your recent success with shorting runners I tested the strategy a few weeks ago using Stratsearch. After letting it run for a while it turned out I had been testing both long and short strategies and the top performing short versions did not even come close to mediocre long strategies.
Did you test this strategy as well, and if so did you get results that let you trade this strategy with confidence?
