My Top 30 Short Setups (by Ryan Mallory)
There are a ton of excellent short setups out there and below are the ones I believe are the best of the best. The market is no doubt oversold right now, so I'd recommend keeping this list handy, and once we can get a few days of the market rallying, then start picking off these companies one-by-one. The best part about this list, is that I have ranked them from 1 to 30 along with providing you with the stop-loss that I will be using on each one. What more could you possibly ask for on a Friday???

Setting aside my one long idea about buying SLV yesterday (on which I got stopped out within 15 minutes of the post), my precious metals calls have been pretty good lately. SLV is definitely the standout here, having falling 12% within just three days! Here are a few recent posts…..I'm only mentioning these since I take my life into my hands if I ever say anything contrary to what all the Kooky PM fans would say.

Liking Like
Many times, a post will have hundreds of comments in it – sometimes as much as a thousand. I change the Disqus sort method to "Best Rating", since I'm not really interested in reading a thousand comments, many of which are just friendly banter.
It's important to Like comments that you "like." If you find a comment interesting, or a link helpful, please click the Like button. It only takes a moment, and it helps everyone. Please note that everyone who has Liked a comment is now visible on the "like list" for that comment, so consider that your reward for a job well done!
