There is always alot of talk about what is the best stock to pick that is heading north, what about an open discussion on where if you could take a short position, or buy some puts, what be the stock for you??

I like the look of SYB today.

Very bearish divergence and humongous volume today, pushing up strongly. Rejection of higher prices and finishing on the low for the day.Looks an ideal short to me .................. so i did :)

Absolutely

Short ERA into every result announcement when they alert the market to the difference between the moonward bound spot U price and their long term contracted prices.

Kauri, H&S not confirmed yet, but if it is, it might be surer play. Oil up overnight will make this stronger Mon. The Delhi deal is the only thing that has held this back really. Once that's sorted its heading higher, not lower. (pending POI, which is going to stay up IMO)

If the Possible H+S breaks its just icing on the cake. Original stop was at minor Wii, now at rise above minor Wc-Intermediate WB. Still trying to get a grasp of EW so take all of my theories with a pinch of salt. Not too concerned about the last 3 days price action as it has a very small range on light volume, When the buyers/sellers take control again will be when it will make a move, I think. :2twocents
The fundamentals, POI are interesting, I don't take much notice of them as I don't really understand them in any depth,i.e with anns it is often what they don't say that is more relevant, time will tell if they lead price/volume or the other way. Either way, I have my stops set. :D

I do agree that it's looking precarious. If H&S confirmed my target would be $0.90.

I'm a long term holder of this, so it's a bit worrying.. :(

Hi kauri, just noticed this short thread and your pick of BPT.

Just FYI my latest Merrill Lynch report has BPT moving north with a 12 month objective of $2.00/.

Of course shares can go either north OR south, but you might lose out on this one if you short BPT from here.

Best of luck/
Caliente.

It was obvious Telstra shares were being bought so instos could get there allocations which drove the price up so much.

T3 is the preferred way of owing telstra.

not claiming it just seemed logical
