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.

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.

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.
