As much as technical analysis is concerned, many sources have repeatedly comment umpteen times that the simpler the chart the better, and i agree with that absolutely.
The monthly chart is in fact easy to spot how IBM prices move since 1993 and forming an ascending triangle!
The target project is actually realized at 205.5, i only have enough capital to short 10 shares at 205.5!

did you short the stock itself? if so have you considered using long put options such as leaps?

Hi James, just happen to see your question,
apologize for late reply.
I do not have 100K cash with me, so using leverage, i will buy put options for shorting and call options for long

i trade with Optionshouse and they offer multiple year leaps.
Also probably best commission structure as well.
They are however currently in the process of merging with trade monster. No frills but excellent prices.

$1.00 per contract up to 10 contracts
Above 10 contracts it goes to another bracket that brings that even lower. I never have traded more than 10 so I cant quote it off hand.
As I said though they are as we speak merging with trade monster. To continue those prices you have to open and fund an account prior to merger completion.
