Trade recap for September 22nd: Good shorts of GTN and CABL

I totally nailed shorts of two of the three stocks on my watchlist from last night. My trading plan was perfect for both. From my watchlist last night:

Gray Television, Inc. (NYSE:GTN) – After the last real news, earnings around August 7th, this stock was under $0.50. Now just under $3, this is an easy short on green/red. Was nice fader on green/red after first spike at the end of August, from $0.95 to $0.75 in three straight red candle days.

China Cablecom Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ:CABL) – Up 100% in two days, just received a Nasdaq deficiency letter. Short on green/red.

GTN and CABL were also kind enough to fall at different times so that I could concentrate on one trade at a time.

My video trade recap:

Daily profit: $901.65

  1. Nice! I hit the CABL and GTN shorts about the same time you did, although I was more conservative on my profit taking than you were (took half off of both at around a 5% profit).
