I have never shorted a stock or ETF. I have made all my money long. I am looking at shorting the QQQQ, thinking that we could hit the 2004 and 2005 lows, maybe even the 2002 low, before we enter a new bull phase. Obviously, if I had been smarter, I could have shorted in mid-May. What would be a good entry point now? Where would you look at entering a short trade now? Today's high of 37.27 looks like short-term resistance, but MACD and RSI are sending bullish signals. Should I wait till 39.14? Any advice much appreciated for my first short :)

My guess would be 37.29(50 dma)-37.63(recent reaction high) with whatever stop loss you feel comfortable.

Trade with your indicators.. If you are using rsi and macd then wait until they are bearish... Patience is the key.. Rhoken

I agree with rhoken.
The march 03 decline was -14.97% Aug 04 was -15.8% April 05 was -14.6% On 7-21-06 we just hit -16.3% for this selloff.
All major lows would make good "trip" points for shorting. 06 and 05 and 04
Since mid months tend to be flat anf end/beginning of months tend to be positive and next month is September.
I would look to short the Q's early next month.
Thanks diceman

Look at the Stocs. 15 minute, daily, weekly. What are they doing? Vol confirm?? What are the support resistence levels telling you?
