Re: OUTSTANDING DEAD CAT BOUNCE alerts
You could very quickly lose your addiction trading in a stock like that, when they go into a trading halt
If you have the capital and the appetite for a lot of risk, could make some good money off these.
Got in on CNP at 0.90 today and sold at 1.32... very happy!
Anyone else have dead cats to report? This could become a dangerous addiction...

Re: OUTSTANDING DEAD CAT BOUNCE alerts
Just got into MFS at $1.22. Surely a dead cat bounce coming up here - many people would have got margin calls on this, looks oversold to me - 10% fully franked dividends - c'mon!

Oops, might not be working so well - back to $1.05.
You would have thought I would learn after Bradken!

(If one can dive from a sky dive.)

Re: OUTSTANDING DEAD CAT BOUNCE alerts
JC, just checking you realise what a dead cat bounce is..
You seem to be assuming just because the stock is doing badly it will 'bounce'.
That's not a dead cat bounce, a dead cat bounce is when there is a big crash and just as a dead cat would do if you threw it off a tall building it would hit the bottom, bounce, but would still be dead.
You did well to make 50% on CNP's bounce, but as the analogy suggests.. it's dead now. Making any trades after that equivalent to putting it all on black imo, possibly even more risky.
If you already understand what a dead cat bounce is don't mind me just making sure nobody invests in a dead cat long after it fell off the building, splat all over the pavement and got scooped up and thrown in the trash, assuming it will soon 'bounce'

Re: OUTSTANDING DEAD CAT BOUNCE alerts
I reckon there is a good chance too, just make sure you get out on the high.
Remember at the end of next week we have a 3 day break are you game to hold if this bounces to hold.
Two nights of the DOW will pass and you wake up Tuesday and it really is a dead cat.

Re: OUTSTANDING DEAD CAT BOUNCE alerts
I appreciate what you say about the gap and days the DOW might tumble, but what if it's the other way around?
Interesting, I forgot about Australia Day. Must do something special here in Quito with some fellow Aussies. Maybe a BBQ and beer somewhere and sing Watzing Matilda..... Cheers.

Re: OUTSTANDING DEAD CAT BOUNCE alerts
Out on Thursday no matter what.
Not game to hold over the weekend.(especially a long one)
There will be plenty of other opportunities regardless.
I could be a out before Thursday and that depends on the direction of the XAO as I definitely did not short it.
