Who wants to pitch in for a gift for the PPT? September 12, 2008
I don’t know if they meant to do it or it is just a lucky side effect, but the PPT has basically started a new economic stimulus package, and I for one would like to thank them. Not only have they started giving away money again, they have decided to give money directly to us, traders.

I watch big long running momentum stocks and basically wait until they breakdown technically then I short them, it's that easy. I have been short MOS twice before now and have made nice profits both times. Although I feel a little uncomfortable about how crowded this trade has become.
