Where I come from, "covering" is commonly
used to refer to "yo ass" (the number one use of the term). I've been
a registered trader for twenty five years and I assure you "covering" is a two
way street.
What a worthless discussion. Instead, let's
argue about who belongs on the list and who doesn't. No, wait, let's argue
about whether momentum oscillators belong on this list. Better yet, let's
all pick on someone for their use of a modifying adjective.
About once every five years, I post the lesson I
learned in American Thought and Language (Michigan State-Dr. Jerry West):
"The farther a monkey climbs up a tree, the more of his ass you can
see".
So, before some of you post...CYA.
Take care,
Steve

Steve,
I would disagree with your assertion that
'covering' is commonly used to refer to a 'flattening'. While I
understood perfectly what you meant all along, the more common
use of 'covering' is to flatten a short
position. Nobody suggested that 'covering' referred to the initiation of
a short position.
Martin.

"By "covering" do you mean "selling out"?
Just to be clear since "covering" usually refers to shorts."
"Have you shorted these before that you're coveringthem now?"
List,
I used to suggest "shorting" the market...but I spent my entire day
answering emails from the public about: "How can you sell something you
don't own?" So, a couple years ago, I started just recording the "buy,
hold, sell, move-to-the-sidelines trades".
"Covering" never means instituting a short position (by any traders
dictionary). "Covering" commonly refers to "flattening" a
position. You have an open position and you "offset" it by "covering"
it. In my case, I was long (had previously purchased) about 35
stocks. This morning I'm "covering" about half these open positions,
by selling, fifteen issues.
I hope this is clearer? The important point is the coincidence of
selling signals across many different sectors. This occurence is "out
of the ordinary" (it just hasn't happened during the past three
years).
Take care,
Steve

Subject: [RT] Sell signals
List,
During the last three years, I
have posted nightly, buy and sell signals at my site (for about
four dozen equity issues). The mechanical signals are generated by
a momentum oscillator, bouncing above and below "triggers".
Usually, when a cluster of buy or sell signals occurs, within a
reasonable time, the market reacts.
I've decided to "warn" the list that I
have NEVER recorded fifteen sell signals on a single day...NEVER (three
years running). Tomorrow morning, I will be covering
positions in: ADBE, ALTR, AMAT, BEAS, CHIR, CMVT, CTAS, ERTS,
KLAC, LLTC, MERQ, NBR, NSM, NVLS, & TER.
Hey, don't want to scare anybody...but,
maybe someone is interested in market direction "factoid". It is
what it is.
Take care,
Steve
