Sal Marvasti: So your portfolio will be in the red. If you had done what I says, you would be in the green. Shorting is essentially a short term trade.

Sal Marvasti: ignore management and long term potential. Look at near term catalysts. All negative for Intel

Ashraf Eassa: I'm primarily an investor. I trade short term occasionally. BTW, really glad I added to my $NVDA position as I said I would in the $11's.

Sal Marvasti: Sell it now :) Before the results come out. We had all this false pullbacks with AMD too. I should I have sold out when it went 3.50->4.

Ashraf Eassa: Nope. I like NVDA - I've made a lot betting on it at these levels in the past, and I'll make a lot again.

Ashraf Eassa: If I see a really good opportunity to sell (like I did when it ran to $14+ on the last ER), then yeah, I'll sell on the sugar high.

Sal Marvasti: but selling the lot you bought at 11.90 makes you 4% minus broker costs.

Sal Marvasti: Do you have Contracts for Difference in USA? There are derivatives, and give 10x leverage. SO with just $1000 you can 10k worth of stock.
