 A little thread dedicated to shorting.
 Buy the day before at close and sell the next day if down. if price went up, hold for no longer than 3 days.
 Don't expect to make more than 1-3% on each trade.
 Close at anytime during the day.
 
 
 Reynolds American Inc. (RAI)
 59.98-0.36 (-0.60%)
 As of 12:31PM
 
 
 Not much but off to a good start.

 Look at TRTN as an eod, 1-3 day short.

 You can go ahead and sell TRTN in ah. for over 2%.
 So we are 2-0 with about a 3% gain.
 300 bucks on a 10k position.
 3000 on a 100k position.
 Oh my...
 
 Vtti has fallen off my list. No trade, sorry I had some drinks and had a siesta...

 Check your math - you can't hold both positions at $100k if your account is only $100k.  You only made $1120 combined on these assuming no slippage and no commissions.

 Eod. Plays. Not sure if I'll go with all 3 or just 2. These may still fall off of the list.
