Sorry guys. I didn't mean to go "Anna Navarro" on you this morning. LOL!
Please PRAY that I didn't destroy my laptop when I spilled water on it yesterday.

na na, na na na na heeeeyyyyy gooodbye...for those of you thinking about real estate investment and development, XIV is a great example of why i left it. this happens in real estate investment as well. the only difference is you have no ability to exit in real estate and you watch your net worth drop. I do not recommend it, even though you will make a ton once in a while.

This whole thread was started showing when one should got out of XIV- One can see that when thing really went to hell in a hand basket that sellers really kicked in to see who could get out the fastest. GREED ! I'm sure there are even fund mangers who were playing XIV.
One can see XIV was going down - To me one should have been out short term long before the CRAP hit the fan!

Mac, you are correct once again. and i certainly hope people dont think i am celebrating people's losses. i just think it pays to be cautious, small positions, tight stops.

@ Mac,
Do you know how to enhance that Guppy filter by adding the flip from short to long and vice versa.
It would actually be two separate filters; one when it flips from short to long and the other when it flips from long to short.
Or anyone .... know how to write that?

I usually use daily SAR filter to get out 1/3 to 1/2 of my position; the other half I exit on the weekly SAR
- I might filter it with thr TREND SPOTTER ( above), which is less tight than SAR.
Actually , anybody has the SF " Trend spotter" code?

@PT No I wasn't thinking that at all- I was just saying the the short term get out signs were there . It would have save anyone anywhere the pain of the see who could get out the fastest when XIV took a CRASH.
@Karen Not right off hand but I will take a stab at it soon!

In the rearview mirror it is a lot easier to see when you should have gotten out. Problem is that on previous occasions a big red candle below the longterm guppy lines proved to be an excellent opportunity to buy.
