Read the latest interims.......just make sure that you are sitting down.

decided to take the plunge and have shorted once more ..... i see no reason for sp to surge ahead, and with the markets as weak as they are, south is surely on the cards

I agree with the sentiment; although I have no experience of "shorting", it strikes me that you should be fairly safe ( er, again.).
Are you locked-into a specific time-frame?

no time frame ..... this is CFD rather than traded option or similar

and so far so good .... if sp does not recover above 400 by close of biz, we could easily see 360 again or even lower

banked a reasonable/modest profit .... if i could make that every day of the year without breaking sweat would be very happy

What after 2 days?.

Blimey cyners Im a long termer but i didnt think you short termers were that short term.

Im about 25 grand up at the moment, but this is one hell of a risky stock with the beta being so high. Doesnt take much either way to make big money or lose money here.

Cynic, dont mean too be nosey but what else have you on the short list?.

nothing at the moment, but shall contemplate reopening short here, and if i get greedy, perhaps doing same with NRK ..... i closed my position on SOLA because the share was holding very steady indeed which i really did not expect

Cheers Cynic. I added to my short yesterday,

Well in the money.

i shorted this morning at 396

Good call, cynic.

shame i haven't made more!
knowing that there needs to be at least DCB is little comfort when the markets seem determined to keep heading rapidly south

Hehe, don't be greedy. Have you shorted NRK again today?

not being greedy .... just trying to ameliorate the losses on the rest of my portfolio!

steered clear pof NRK today ..... i just feel sp could surge against the grain as profits are booked and/or margins need to be settled elsewhere

SOLA
for general info, at 365, sp has ducked through 50 dma, the 25 dma having beeen broken some way higher.
If PTH reads this, he may give a more sophisticated chart reading, but I don't see much support before the psychological barrier of 300

300p or less will do me cyners.

Dow down again last night, looks like a good day coming up here again.

bugger .... took my profit at 368 this morning as markets were threatening to go quite a lot better .... never mind; makes a change to have a profit to bank in these markets

Shorted at 369p this morning, cynic...following you. Didn't expect you to bail out so soon.

i shorted at 396 so had a respectable profit

Not bad...it is my turn now...wish me luck

Going well again at the moment, ie, down.
