And back into my BANK shorts and take back some SASOL shorts. This is getting dangerous - somebody say something to stop me!

The cure for this bug (which bites every now and again) is a big loss... while one's perennial favourites break out without them.. leaving one clutching one's head and reciting the "all I had to do was sit tight" mantra!

Trust you got shot of those shorts, no suntan lotion would cure those banking burns, as for me nice to see a colour other than red these last few days as my NED,FSR & SLM are dark green

Y. SASOL hurt. The banks went well. Cleared all of my USD holdings a couple of days ago too!

Actually went long BGA when the rumours of PIC getting involved began to surface. Sold them too soon though. But oh well...

Watching. I hate shorts! I am never comfortable with them! They scare me - and this last little experience did nothing to cure that phobia. The market showed all the signs of breaking down - then up, up and away.. I would rather focus on clapped-out value stocks. I have taken a slew of AGL, KIO, IMP, LON - pretty much at the bottom (got it right finally.) Half shares / half CFD's. I'll trade the CFD positions to reduce my carrying cost or die trying anyway.

KIO, you have some company...best hedge, short MSM soon

Careful! - Is the USD comes off:- little or no US inflation, so slower/no US rate hikes and lack of local US growth - the emerging market story will be (is?) back on stage for a while. MSM, the banks etc. will become potential takeover targets. I wouldn't want to be short in that environment...
