We are adding two more short trades to our portfolio this week. While we can see the overall market environment improving, which we think will generate some long side trading opportunities, there are a couple of opportunities we wanted to take advantage of.
When short trading we look ideally for a stock or market that is already starting to exhibit some short side characteristics. The stock needs to be showing its potential to evade any efforts by buyers to turn it around. We also like companies where we think the share price is at unrealistically high levels STILL, and where there is plenty of bad news still to come, in our view.
Our second trade is a commodities trade which we think will reflect some shifts in the geopolitical landscape in the next six months. We are adding both of these to our short-term horizon trading portfolio.
