Diss my NPN Sell. This was posted today and investors might disregard the Fully Valued. NPN is one of the five Co's.

Thanks, but I'm very wary of this one; burned my fingers badly and lost a lot of money shorting NPN when I just started CFD trading, and that was a trade initiated by our "tutor". Will keep an eye on it and if I take it, a close SL.

NPN short to initial target of 68560. SL at 75680.

many traders burnt on their shorts with NPN, me included, for what its worth...look for stocks that have downward momentum coupled with negative outlook(i'm sure you know this already but mentioned just in case)

AMS - has to be one of my favorite short's, last year and up until recently they've been a easy call.

Thanks. Will give it a go. I think today is an opportunity to get in; sentiment doesn't change that quickly. And then, and I'm really sorry to say this and it depresses me greatly, but it's one of those facts of life; there's still Mr Mandela...

NPN. Fully Valued and already heading down after a good run.

Thanks. Also have it on my watchlist for a long; has a nice "wavy" pattern to ride up and down and seems to be nearing it's next bottom (for a long), but my short order is going in...

i mentioned this on another thread that baw is a seasonal stock. if you analyse the movements you will notice how it starts moving down in may until october-ish and then in october it starts its incline. it has repeated that pattern for past 3 years if i remember correctly.

baw has been a no brainer since last month. i think it still has a lower target going into july.

Come on guys, I'm looking for stocks to short! I know it goes against our grain and what we look for, but which are the bad, very sensitive to sentiment companies?

Added TBS (tx HDB)

I'm short ANG, LON and STX Fini, all already in profit (from yesterday) with trailing stops. AGL already stopped out.

Resources will gain from currency weakness, possible strike action to a large extent already baked in.

 

Retail and banking would be my guess, plus a couple indi like IPL, BVT, ones that have run well for a while.

 

Plus any majorly foreign owned, WHL point in case down over 12% just this week.

What do you guys reckon are the best stocks to short, with the fastest, longest, surest drops expected, i.e. "reverse growth" probabilities? HDB, Delta, Perreby....?

 

With all this Bernanke cuts stuff, time of the year, emerging markets negativity, rand weakness, strikes, etc talk going round, I surely had a much more restful night being short in the market, albeit very small and few stocks.

 

Lonmin, Anglo; what do you guys think?
