Half of My Positions
I wrapped up the trading week with twenty-eight bearish positions. Here are half of the positions, zoomed in to the most salient portions of the chart:
A Mellow Short
As the VIX eases down into the lower 30s (!) I wanted to offer up a less wild and wooly short: HYG, the high yield corporate bond fund. It has a clean stop at 77.85 (I’ve set mine at 77.90; this is a new trade) and, frankly, doesn’t tend to move crazily like, say, oh, something like LLY.
Take the Pepsi Challenge
I don’t normally have a timeline in mind for my positions, but one short-sale I could anticipate holding for months is Pepsi (PEP), which is sporting a massive, well-formed topping pattern.
