HOW TO PROPERLY SHORT TECHNICALLY （转贴）
Shorting is very tough game that has gotten even tougher after 2009. All you have to do is look at the stats and facts;
The biggest rallies are happen in corrective/bear markets, exactly when bears should be making a killing.
Over the last 33 years the average intra year decline in the SP500 is 14% but even with that average decline the market has been able to post a positive annual return 25 out of those 33 years.
Michael Steinhardt one of the pioneers in the hedge fund industry once said that he probably has shorted more stocks than anyone else and when he looks back cumulatively he probably broke even on them.
Here are some of the rules I have when it comes to shorting.
Don’t short oversold markets, the market has a history of bailing out the bulls not the bears.
Every now and then you might get lucky shorting an oversold market that becomes more oversold and stays oversold, but the distance between every now and then is huge. Don’t do it.
Do not short a stock that is down multiple days in a row, wait for the bounce (3-5 days) then short preferably with some of the moving averages above the price of the stock.
Do not overstay your welcome on the short side, again, the biggest rallies happen in bear corrective markets.
Shorting is very enticing due to the fact 6 months worth of gains could easily be wiped out in a matter of month, look at EMES. However all the stats are against you so do it selectively and at the right time.
Shorting a fundamental story is different than shorting something technically.
Shorting the so called “leaders” that have broken down tends to be very profitable, focus on those. There is a stat that states that 80% of the biggest winners at one point lose 50% of their gains.
