Keeping close eye on JNPR Possible Short here

Bounced a little off its 200 EMA, so could make a run and hold but looks to be struggling and good chance it breaks support. Great and easy opportunity for $$$ on the break of support. Its definitely in a situation where it could make a nice bounce or have a total breakdown. IMO, I am leaning towards more to a break of support. Will definitely be watching this one and will Load up on the 1st sign of any weakness for the short opportunity.

1 year is more clear, next support level if it breaks looks to be in the mid 20s

lol, I just looking at JNPR thinking it's in the top of the channel in the overall downtrend. Not a bad short here. I'll check it out a little later.

I ended shorting FFIV this morning, average price is 30.35.

Mistakes like my JNPR posts will be great if it breaks down as well. I was looking at it last night but FFIV is what really stood out me.

I was thinking about it when it popped 32. Ended up shorting another 1/2 position @ 31.75 to bring my average to 30.65.

Do you have a stop in mind? I was looking at 32.65 but I'm not clear on it. Obviously a break over 34 is a no no.

Just like RVBD, I gave it room because it had a few points before a breakdown and it rebounded and never broke into the downtrend and now I have solid profits and more shares out there. Samething with FFIV, sometimes, it may only be a 1 point or even 50 cents as far as stoploss. Everyone has there own limits. My limit is the high from July 11th, so I am giving it a few points and it it breaks, I am fine with that because that is the breakout high. Until then, I will hold and hope there is profit taking and a selloff from the last few days. It still looks top heavy to me, so with a few down days we can have a total break of support or it keeps moving, I obviously will sell and take my losses. Its your call as what ur willing to risk. I don't want to tell you what you should risk with your money but July 11ths High is my exit

Covered entire short today. Average cover was 32.23 for a loss of -1.19. Stock had to much momentum and volume was very high. Like the beginning of the post, I saw were it could make a run but i thought it looked more top heavy. Definitely was on the wrong side of this one. Fing Ran on me.
