Although the vast majority of the trade ideas posted here recently are shorts, I am aware that many traders and investors are not comfortable with shorting stocks.  I do plan to start including more ETF’s/ETN’s in the future, both long and short, as many prefer the relative safety of these vehicles due their diversity of holdings.  With that being said, please take a moment to share your opinion on the poll that I just added to the top of the sidebar on the right side of this page.  Although I do often incorporate ETF’s into my own trades, I’ve always found that the most profitable trades come from identifying high-probability, good risk-to-reward patterns on individual stocks and, as anyone following this site or my trades in the past can tell, I am every bit as comfortable with shorting as I am going long.  However, as my goal is to constantly improve this site, I would welcome feedback as to your own preference of trade ideas posted here.  Would you prefer that I continue to post the most attractive R/R set-ups that I find, even if those are highly skewed to shorts at times?  Or would you prefer that I make an effort to continue posting long trade ideas, regardless of current market conditions or my own personal market bias?  Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion.
