Today, HANS hit an all time high of 126.38. Just curious, signs of weakness did you see in this one? Why did you short it with a stop loss of 104.80, but not the opposite? In other words buy at at 104.80 with a reasonable stop downwards? Cause crossing 104.80 meant strength and was in the direction of the uptrend.

So your suggesting a possible double top? Should we wait for earnings before taking a stake?
Tim,
I like the trade, and even tried to execute it, but there was no shares available to short at my brokerage...
