Went Short The Indexes At The Close

July 27, 2009

I decided to put my cash back to work and short the $RUT and $SPX at the close with a heavy position.

I still most of my stocks that I’ve been posting about and being right. This is the privately posted portfolio and how its performed so far:

I sold URE today for 13% gain and RBY for a 5% loss. Other trades still going well: AGO 13%, CSR 13%, FVE 13%, NRF 12%, IPHS 6.4%, MFW 3.2%, IBAS 1.6%, FLEX 8.5%, other AVII purchase 11%, DGP flat, FRG -5.5%.

I also bought OCNF today.

I talked about SOL, JASO, LVS being interesting buys a few days ago. I had no positions in these stocks so I haven’t been tracking them closely, but today LVS should have been sold. Both JASO and SOL still good.

Not surprisingly, rarely anyone comments on this blog, but I know people are reading. Do you want to be engaged more? You have registered, I can see in my stats you are visiting, but there is little to no commenting. I’ve seen plenty of noise causing bloggers get more comments then stockrake.com – much more. Just curious. Maybe some consistency?
