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

I am certainly not suggesting going long at the moment, but it would be interesting to see where the turnaround point is.
If you drew the same set of trend lines back in aug '07, it would have been the same scenario as now. No obvious sign of a reversal. Yet it happened.
Of course I am trying to bottom pick, which is dangerous, but I am going to be kicking myself if the sp goes back to the 480 level without identifying the start of the up trend.

shorted this morning at 276, though silly thing has now strengthened to 283 .... never mind

Will 300p now be strong enough resistance? looks to be attempting it, personally i cant see much buying pressure at present, so i have also gambolled and gone short...

good move i reckon .... i did it too early

Looks like it is getting to my 330p...phew

not sure, but though PVCS has not moved, SOLA's move may just be in sympathy with First Solar in USA who reported stunning results and whose sp then jumped 20/25% before yesterday's open and held it

stopped out, could be mistake, and as usual watch it slip back, but decided to stick with decision... difficult to say if stops are saving or costing me at the mo, i think the former to be fair...

if you look at chart the last lower high was early Feb at 340 (resistance), if this rally fails to reach 340 and then reverses, I would take this as a short signal, and go for a position once this is confirmed.

Would be interested in views, as to whether I have read this correctly or not.

One other possible scenario: Is a reverse head & shoulders forming, as in dec?

I see what you mean Harry, in which case it would have pause at 340ish and level out before heading up. Either way I believe 340 is the level to watch.

For me, didn't like the strength that it surged through 320 to leave a short running, if it had paused i may have rethought, i agree 340 is pivotal...

Dow is struggling seriously to hold above 12500, and have shorted same.
Am also short of SOLA, and though did that too early at 276, am tempted to short further for all sorts of good chart reasons
Contemplated shorting here (AL.) but may have missed the boat.

would happlily consider other suggestions

Be aware solar stocks very popular in the US.

rephrase that .... First Solar came in with stellar results, if you'll excuse the pun!

So are you shorter!

of course i am .... see post 2234

unfortunately I was out this afternoon so missed sola turning down, hopefully I should have a chance in morning to short.

I have a short running on GAW based on awful fundamentals and over valuation, check out last weeks article in share mag, worth a look. Just closed a short on KGF, maybe to early as could be more to go for.

Tempted with shorts for RYA and IHG, Marriot Hotels had 4th quarter results today, which didn't look that good at first glance, but will wait for comments before shorting IHG.

Would be interested to hear views on these ideas.

thought i would post a simple chart .... unfortuantely, i think PTH has disappeared for a little while, as his charts and interpretations are much better and sophisticated than my simple offerings

Down nearly 7% in the US, Nice.
