I took a short position today in SKX. The stock is extended and today's indecisive price movement on high volume leads me to believe a pullback is in order.
Short Setup: FUQI
I pointed to FUQI as a short when it was around $30. I took the trade, which would have been successful had I used a wider stop.

A Trade Report member sent me an email about DE. Here is the e-mail and my response I think it is great time to short "DE"?
