MOBL - Long & Short
Reversal of recent lows is taking place. This one should go much higher. Big money to be made here.

Epix isnt a penny, its on the nasdaq.

I just dont understand why your long and short the same security.
Essentially doesnt that just cancel out.....

Or you may be thinking that short and long mean term.

Its one short pick which you think will decrease in price,
and one long pick which you think will go up in price.

These picks are not put in any particular order, only the order in which they were recieved.

Also, remember we have a new rule for this month. You can close your position anytime you like. This might be why some people have the same pick. They expect it to move a lot in one month so maybe they will close the position one way and expect it to turn around the other way. Sounds risky to me though.

But since there has been no objection to the new rule and no threats from the Moderators to ban me from this site for suggesting it, consider it the new rule at least for August. We'll see how it works out. Post in this thread when you want to close out your position. You have to post prior to market open or after market close, you cannot close out your position in the middle of a market day. It will be too difficult to figure out exactly when you closed out your position. So you unfortunately will have to settle for the closing number, whatever that might be.

If you aren't clear on the new rule, please ask questions in this thread.

Since it is a buy or sell and I can't show how I would have insured this against what happened.
I'm closing NSS at the close today. Aug 1st (that did not last long)
they had mixed results on earnings, That position would have been covered in real life.
