Congratulations to all

who are still short at $UNH (+3.2%) are still short and didn't decide to sell the position like I did yesterday because they thought the $300 would hold. It will go lower today after the next board member, Witty, resigned yesterday. If we test the $250 level again, I will go long again.

@Klein-Anleger1 Well, you will be one of the few people here who are happy about the share price performance today. I take a neutral view. I'm happy with my 50%.

@Multibagger But you've already been right twice, once with the long, and then you went short at the right moment!!!!
For me it was more luck than sense 🤑

@Klein-Anleger1 then draw the right conclusions. It doesn't always work with more luck than sense. A little tip from me. Especially with such short-term derivative trades, it is important that you define fixed entry and exit scenarios and, more importantly, stick to them. This often requires patience and discipline. If you don't do this and allow yourself to be carried away by hype etc. You will end up with more losing trades than winning trades.

@Klein-Anleger1 Do you still have it? Then keep an eye on the 290$ mark at the start of trading in the USA. It bounced back up there yesterday in after-hours trading and today in pre-market trading. If this is also the case in regular trading, I would consider selling.

@Multibagger no, I sold it before the US stock market opened this morning because the buying pressure was too high 🙈

unfortunately my short was stopped out yesterday after the start of trading in the us with a slight profit, the price then rose again. in the past i would have taken part in the dip, but after that went wrong more often than good, i got into the habit of putting a stop as soon as i was in the green with the stock.

Chris@Multibagger

@Cai-pirinha then you have done everything right. Discipline is important with such trades. You have to stick to your defined scenarios. Of course you will miss out on a few % here and there. But in the end you will make more positive trades

@GMK_VII How long do you want to let your short run? I'm somehow very unsure about the US start at 15:30...

@Klein-Anleger1 I sold it a few minutes ago at just under +20% as I told myself I'd sell it when it crossed €260. I'm happy with 🙂

Chris@Multibagger

@GMK_VII that may very well have been the right decision. $UNH has already recovered somewhat from yesterday's post-market lows of $289. I therefore do not expect it to head towards $250. Especially as the first investment houses are also taking the side of $UNH and some are calling out price targets of over $400.
