STOCKMARKETDOUBLE DIARY JUNE 20, 2013

Fortunate to be short today. As I had mentioned when I initiated this position, I felt more comfortable being short in this market then long  http://www.stockmarketdouble.com/2013/06/stockmarketdouble-diary.html

Nonetheless, as for today's update, the stock I am short Sunedison (SUNE), was down nearly 5% today, going from $8.49 to $8.07. The account is now up a remarkable 43.5% since April 18. (I had to check the math twice to make sure).

Something I didn't expect from this result-is that I feel a bit anxious about having a 44% gain in 2 months and 2 days. If you've been around the markets for as long as I have (25 years)-you know these streaks don't last forever. However, I am steadfast on the shorting of SUNE. The stock price had quadrupled in the last 52 weeks and frankly was  due for a pullback regardless of what the market itself was going to do. Anyway, until tomorrow-have a good evening. See all the trades below leading up to this point.
