	Long/Short Strategy of Manuel Asensio's Clients.
		After several Asensio clients were identified, investors were stunned to find that they often had large long positions in the stocks he was denouncing as "frauds." It seemed obvious that these hedge funds were both long and short the targeted stocks, with the short position the larger of the two.
		Why Asensio never disclosed the long positions is a legitimate question--especially since securities laws require disclosure of all material facts to investors.
		One obvious reason is the problem these positions pose for Asensio's M.O. His charges of "fraud" would be difficult to reconcile with a disclosure that he and/or his clients were holding long positions.

	Jacobs Levy - Long-Short
		By balancing long positions in equities with short positions of roughly equal dollar amount and market sensitivity, it is possible to construct a portfolio whose return is neutralized against overall market moves.
		When long and short positions are chosen simultaneously, however, in an integrated optimization, the result is a single portfolio that is not constrained by index weights.
		Long and short positions can be combined in market-neutral or "equitized" portfolios; a market-neutral portfolio's performance is independent of underlying market moves, while an equitized portfolio retains exposure to the market.

	Long-Term Capital Management
		The reason was that virtually all of the leveraged Treasury bond investors had similar positions: Salomon Brothers, Merrill Lynch, the III Fund (a fixed-income hedge fund that also failed as a result of the crisis) and likely others.
		Liquid securities are assigned a positive exposure to the liquidity factor; illiquid securities are assigned a negative exposure to the liquidity factor.
		Using this approach, LTCM might have classified most of its long positions as illiquid and most of its short positions as liquid, thus having a notional exposure to the liquidity factor equal to twice its total balance sheet.

	Shatterfield :: What is The Commitments of Traders
		Since the number of long positions and the number of short positions is identical, adding the number of Non-Commercial spreading positions (28,545) to the total of either side (416,980) will result in the total Open Interest (445,525) for the commodity as of that date.
		The majority of the time the Commercials are either positioned against the trend (for example, by holding mostly long positions when the market is declining), or by moving their positions against the direction of the trend.
		By observing which positions each group is taking at any particular time, a trader has the ability to watch the buildup of positions by any particular group, and therefore has another tool to anticipate price movement.

	Jacobs Levy - Portfolio Optimization Including Short Positions
		As we researched the idea of using short positions in conjunction with long positions in a portfolio framework, we soon realized the real benefits of this approach emerge only if one employs a single "integrated optimization" that considers long positions and short positions simultaneously.
		Rather, it is a one-portfolio strategy in which the long and short positions are determined jointly within an optimization that takes into account the expected returns of the individual securities, the standard deviation of those returns, and the correlations between them, as well as the investor's tolerance for risk.
		The benefits of combining short positions with long positions in a portfolio context, however, depend critically on the way the portfolio is constructed.

	Trading Short Bearish Positions
		But unless you have a long term horizon, and are willing to wait for those big declines (bear markets), you are more likely to underperform a strategy that takes "only" bullish positions.
		Bearish positions are riskier than bullish positions because the markets trend higher for longer periods of time than they decline.
		Yes, bearish positions do result in large gains during bear markets such as we experienced in 2000-2002, but such declines are not every day occurrences.

		With their massive short positions, the only thing they could have possibly done was to begin covering those positions, but this move results in what is called a short squeeze, which also causes prices to rise.
		One is to continue adding to their short positions and sell more gold; the other is to convince the small segment of Commercial longs to sell out of their positions.
		The fact is, in less than 5 days, the Commercials decreased their short positions by 34,132 contracts and increased their long positions by 14,554 contracts.

	Gold COT Charts
		As we can see on the accompanying COT chart, the sheep are permanently net long, which is pretty dumb when you stop to think about it, and compound their stupidity by having the largest long positions at market peaks.
		The net long positions of the oxen build up to a huge level as the market approaches a peak, and then ebb away to a low level as the market approaches a bottom.
		At market peaks the sheep and oxen, especially the latter, hold a high level of long positions, and the wolves hold a large number of short positions, consequently the line is at a high level, as was the case when it peaked last November.

		The strategy should not be confused with a market neutral strategy that combines long and short positions to achieve zero net market exposure.

		Commercial positioning remains net long as large traders increased their long exposure in the sterling by another 23,153 contracts, while reducing their shorts by 1,263 contracts, with commercial net longs totaling 18,967 contracts, thus creating a possibility that banks and other institutions expect 1.7500 handle to be a temporary bottom.
		Commercials remained undeterred as they long the contract with overall net long climbing to 61,096 contracts, thus establishing a view that the Swiss Franc is ripe for a short squeeze with large institutions running the squeeze.
		Commercials continued to build their net long positions with 69,565 net long commercial contracts outstanding as large institutional traders most likely expect the pair to test the 115.00 handle.

	Build long-term positions in Uranium stocks
		Uranium moves in long cycles; the last boom was more than 20 years ago, and it’s only recently come off a period of de-stocking after the Cold War, which saw extraordinary secondary supplies hit the market.
		In 1979, at the peak of the last boom, there were more than 100,000 holes drilled looking for uranium; during the past 20 years, annual drilling has never exceeded 10,000.
		This, then, is a good time to be building long-term positions in uranium investments, but also time to be selective.
