Wow- What patience! When Did you change your approach from holding a losing trade as a position?

Shorting real estate with SRS, housing with XLB short, long steel SCHN, short Biotech with BIS and RXD - short Brazil with BZQ
Tight stops all around - covered my short of TLC

I took some of your short picks-definitely look trending strong-
Why long SCHN - why would you think it has added upside from here-I expect the reason is stock specific ? and not the industry group.?
prefer the ultra picks- I took a position in TZA thinking small caps have been breaking down ahead of the other indexes.
Jobs report today may have a big impact on how it is interpreted- Employers are reportedly seeming some wage pressure- Hard to believe that though....
Also a buy-stop in SLV $17.80 entry-$17.95 limit.

Took profits on ITW (stop at 140.00) - invested in MTN - sold it years ago and forgot about it - missed a BIG rise - back into LMT - new position in RMCF -
Defense and aerospace stocks doing well - ITA HEI HII MLM BA GD LMT NOC UTX - ITA looks like a good ETF. Putting tight stops on NLY ANH - took small profit on IR

ITA seems a good way to hold the aerospace/defense basket -Theme play for Trump's promises as well. New breakout today- I'll be buying some- with a 145 stop-loss- the low side of the recent pullback- (Still holding TQQQ- , and XBI may finally get going)and, reentered botz,robo ,aaon, today-

Well I finally made a buck on SCHN - VICL is on a slow rise - hit YTD high. I will continue to hold it- I sold NLY and ANH. I think energy and materials (XME X FXC ) will rebound XOM COP CVX all seem safe bets. I like energy services - always have - Frequently to my detriment - small positions in MDR TRN IEZ. Holding CRUS.

Interesting - Canadian Banks??? There is a reason to hold financials - contained therein I suspect- i could not include/find PCPT, NBIOF as tickers... Posting a candle glance chart of your listed stocks- Hope you don't mind- I will be posting a similar candleglance snapshot in my thread ....
Like you, I'm going to be culling the laggards- And focus more on those that have sector / uptrends in place....and trending-

VICL up 40% this AM - awaiting news to see why - may be take over target - I am taking positions in energy services MDR MTW SLB RIG - liking some autos F GM TM - still holding chemicals CE EMN Mon. Transports should be doing better - shopping around for something with good growth at a reasonable price (NSC??) . Riding healthcare with IHF IHI FBT - wish I had the guts to short TESLA - down to 334 as I write.

Well I am now looking for trades for next year - the short term trends with the expected Santa Claus rally, tax loss selling and 30 day repurchases make it difficult to see any long term trends. I am taking positions in energy services - RIG SLB MDR - Home builders-etf NAIL has the right mix. Health Care is on the rebound I use IHI IHE and IHF. I play the robotics trend with software XSW which is also good for cyber security. I don't see much internationally - a few Chinese stocks EDU BABA JD. Holding chemicals, railroad services WAB GBX. Holding SOXL for tech and BRK.B for insurance plus, NTRI MED for the weight loss trend (sold WTW for profits).

Interesting mix! I like the XSW- component - I'm long/overweight both ROBO and BABA in that robotics sector - I hope Biotech bottomed here- just added to a losing IBB last week.
Traded in and out of BABA instead of holding- Bought some JD last week as it looked better
IHI trending well- -Device makers uptrending.
and Nail 3x- solid trend as well- thanks for pointing it out- Home builders, industry doing good.Chart looks very steady-
SOXL 3x Also nice trend - I've been leery on the leveraged ETFs- but if you stand the extra volatility swing - the reward vs SMH is substantial-
Thanks for Sharing!

THINKING ABOUT COUNTRY FUNDS - I have just about given up on South America, Mexico and Canada. Germany has been strong -not impressed with rest of Europe although I expect the Euro to appreciate against the dollar - Russia is interesting and - I think - worth a small position. India, Japan, China, I'm not feeling any love
