Letter from SEC prevents me from giving you a complete reply - A hint might be how I end up holding a stock in large quantity that is popular with Short traders
I wood end up in prison for saying more
Now that aside - It is rare I play the market short - Yes I sure no many do - Not my style nor can I fully justify it in print More a matter of emotion that probably cannot be justified OTHER Then many sure lose ass as result - Perhaps I am not smart enough to play the market short? I have on occasion but not to often.
I if I could have wood have played Qualcomm on occasions short - Each time I wanted to I ended up blocked by SEC letters -
I also am not a regular day trader - But damn with Trump setting up Chaos on the Market and deals are like almost daily with a quality stock selling cheaper How can I resist - I still do not have all the free cash to buy lots cheap and hold hold - And that is where maybe You can with short positions cause that sure is an easy way to buy and not spend the bucks NOW -
Bottom line is in all the ways I make money the market has been more than OK but does NOT compare to Real Estate gains - Except of course Qualcomm stock because as an employee my options were beyond amazing - Now buying back all I can from Harvard which holds much of my stocks as collateral. With daughter now a resident and essentially out of school I am in a better position than in past
Oh and with current Market daily Chaos - At night I do Queue the trades for first round of day trading and a tiny bit of long term - I also have a great guy for my trades and one gal and they with limits are free to make buy deals for me and so far they are smarter than I AM - I also make sure to gift them on occasion - One "firm" is in my 15 myle zone and I mean corporate wise
