I said that. Then panic sold my call earlier. I've cost myself so much money this week.
Posting these more me to keep record of. Doing a bit of paper trading since I don't have much money freed up currently.
JILL taking off currently. I put in an alert at .63 to buy. Currently up $.30 from that point. Would have been a big gainer. Damn.
IPI up .10 from the quoted post. Definitely looking like it could take off. I might actually put what little cash I have on this one.
PULM still holding in that 1.40 range it was in when I posted it. It's a COVID play as well.
SGLB - Was sitting around 2.45 when I posted this. Set my alert to buy was at 2.55. Currently up to 2.60. We'll see how it tracks today
Xspa may make the biggest move, but it’s hard to say in which directionYes! Sensei Allen..soo hypothetically if you had one stock to pick to make money on within the week which would you pick?,AAL,SAVE,XSPA or JBLU?
Thing is. I sold once and profited wouldve come out nicely. But instead as SAVE kept going I decided to buy back in higher and turn another profit. Then as I kept seeing more red I got spooked and sold to dump into some penny stocks that are going up today. Problem is overall my shares aren't that big so the percentage isn't going to be that high. IDEX may run next month, but I've cost myself capital that I was planning on putting in it.I sold for less than what I should have with SAVE, but 18.50 was a magic number I had envisioned to get out. When it rose to 18.80 I set a SL for 18.65 and hoped for the best. Hard to complain too much when I ended up ahead of where I wanted to get out. $19 should have been my original SL when I bought this stock, but I was new and refused to take an L like a dummy. With the money free, I could have climbed back in when it hit 16.00 and been so much better off.
Oh well, you live and you learn. Looking for good entry/exit points is what I'm working on most now.
I have always had the best luck playing something up until their earnings date, and then selling before the earnings are released (even if the company is expected to beat earnings). There's normally a dip right after earnings, then I'll try to jump in before the move back up.An interesting setup for next week. TSLA and SAVE report earnings same day. Some say SAVE will beat their estimates, and we know TSLA probably will, too. Could be a good week.
For everything I've dumped into for now. Is it better to use 3/4 of my day trades and get save stock today just before close or should I wait and do it Monday morning
