Here’s what I’m piloting today:

Slope initially began as a blog, so this is where most of the website’s content resides. Here we have tens of thousands of posts dating back over a decade. These are listed in reverse chronological order. Click on any category icon below to see posts tagged with that particular subject, or click on a word in the category cloud on the right side of the screen for more specific choices.
We’re only an hour into the trading day, and I have been ungodly busy. There are times I can allow things to be on cruise control, and other times when it’s all hands (in this case, two) on deck. I continue to be running at full speed, but I’ll briefly highlight three short positions which, God bless ’em, actually are managing to be down even on a day like this. It’s almost unreal that it’s possible……….

I’ve had my eyes on Biogen (BIIB) for a while as a short, but I was too slow on the trigger. For those more patient than me (AKA everyone on the planet), it’s worth a look.

I didn’t even think it was physically possible for an investment bank to issue anything less than a “Hold” on a strong from one of their analysts, but evidently Tesla (TSLA) has received a downgrade to Sell from no one a body than JP Morgan. I pointed out the vulnerability of this stock earlier, and since only December it has lost nearly 30% (!!!!) of its value.

Here are the ten equities which I am short in this particular portfolio; as always, I have zoomed into the most germane portions, and I’ve placed a dashed red line where the stop-loss price is.
