It's a nice day to take off some shorts

Buying back a couple of shorts I put on last Tuesday.

Carmax (KMX) I'd sold at $19.02, I just bought it back at $17.25, that's a 9.3% drop in 1 week. Profit $885.

Staples (SPLS) I'd sold at $21.86, I just bought it back at $20.16, that's a 7.8% drop in 1 week. Profit $1,700.

Whilst I'm still negative on both of these stocks (a second-hand car dealer and a business supplies seller are NOT going to perform in a downturn), I might as well take profits when I can. If these things rally back 10% or so I'll look to re-enter.


Yours,
