Bella,<\/p>\n

How is everything?<\/p>\n

I have a few questions for you.\u00a0\u00a0I know I always bombard you so if you are too busy to answer no worries at all.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 How do you know when it is time to scrap a trading play?\u00a0 I have tried to fade names that have reported good numbers\u00a0many times and I have lost my hat.\u00a0 COH today I thought it was a safe short +3.00 and already at a 52 week high\u00a0and the stock is now +5.50.\u00a0 My strategy is not to fade strong stocks but I do like to fade stocks when I think the move is “excessive”.\u00a0 Anyway I have come to the conclusion that it is time to do away with fading strong names the same day as earnings.\u00a0 I always get stopped out at a loss.\u00a0 Am I giving up too early, should I just tweak what I am doing?<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Is it moronic to fade stocks with strong earnings?<\/p>\n

Bella Responds<\/strong><\/p>\n

I could start to highlight the fade trades that work given your parameters but I am struck by this simple thought:<\/p>\n

Why don’t you just get long these stocks?<\/p>\n
