First Short Sell: Entry was pretty good as I bought TCS near a high spike at 5.34. There was relatively small volume, and I took a very small position to get use to the feel of holding a short. I was actually up about $35.00 on the trade at one point. Exit: Sold this into an uptrending spike and sold into strength. terrible Exit, but again, play was speculative and a great learning experience on my first short.
