...Let's re-visit IBM's price in a month. <br /><br />Note that IBM can't go up much before the system reverses LONG, so your thesis about, "getting killed" is erroneous on its face. A Weekly close above 132 reverses the SHORT to a LONG, that's a risk of about 3%, hardly, "getting killed," by any stretch.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435140994142833427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9226230.post-38629259066677466642010-08-19T10:47:15.429-07:002010-08-19T10:47:15.429-07:00Why sell IBM, seriously?

If you want to make a case via chart, it's hard to, seeing as the stock has nearly doubled in the past two years.<br /><br><br />Shorting a low P/E stock with rising earnings is a way to get killed in the market. On top of that, it's got a 2% dividend, which sets a certain floor on any downward drop. Low reward, high risk.<br /><br><br />Plus, it hasn't gone down since the chart issued the magical "short" signal in December. It can't be that easy to prove you wrong - can it?<br /><br><br />Full disclosure: I don't own any IBM, and didn't even in the past...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
