Stock Investing Pt2
Daily Stock Report for Tuesday Morning, December 22
, 2009 pt2
Summary Opinion The next couple of weeks are vulnerable to a lot of cross currents with fund managers re-arranging their holdings. Consider reducing long holdings for lower risk and look for substantial exposure to long positions in January. This is not a great time to be heavily long but favors short term positions in swing positions. Also be very selective on what you are shorting.

Follow-up: HPJ, see notes below. PEP, Pepsi. Pepsi bounced today sharply from Fridays low, and looks likely to move up for another day or two. This is the downside of using stops but by keeping discipline to use trailing stop losses, it will keep you from having really large losses on any individual stock idea.
Focus chart:
HPJ, Hong Kong Highpower bullshort acted as we hoped and peaked out below $9.04 at $8.90 and corrected to $7.55 on Monday. This rebounded back from $7.55 and went back up to $8.70 in which we promptly emailed you this to consider opening a small short position. We are looking for this to drift lower into the low $6s in the coming week or two and possibly breaking below $6 eventually.
REPEAT from Sunday night report: Most of these bullshorts dont exceed the first high so if this moves up tomorrow (on Monday) and doesnt exceed that $9.04 high from last week, this should be another good opportunity to open a small short position to profit from as it likely moves down to a lower low, possibly to $6 or lower in the coming 1-2 weeks.
The first drop like we have seen in the last 3 days is the fastest and easiest money to make in a bullshort but the most is made by repeated shorting, usually in two major drops.
