Probably too high of a sell stop at 2.85 as it'll probably jump around between 2.8 and 2.9 for a while.

I'm still figuring things out.  I lost $$ on a trigger selling ABIO early.  Had no idea it would reach $14+, looking at it now over $16 and I am a sad sad man

Never seen this before.

 

GNUS was trading at about 2.60. 

 

They announced they're raising cash at a 1.50 offering.

 

Everyone sold off, and I mean everyone. It crashed from 2.60 to 1.60 in like 10 seconds lmao. 

 

and now it's back up. 

 

Some day traders just made their weekly targets in a matter of minutes. Wow.

Which ever firm takes the offering at $1.50 first shorts an equal amount around $2.60ish. That's how they get paid. Once the Johnny Come Lately gambling set clears out it should sink to that price. And that's where they will cover their shorts.

Trading just halted for MARK a moment ago.  

 

Wonder what's going on

It's a volatility halt. If a stock drops +10% in 5 minutes or less trading is halted for 5 minutes.

 

That excludes a specific amount of time directly after the open and directly before the close.

Damn im doing terribly today. EVFM going down hard, GNUS crashed while i was out (why didnt i put a trigger to sell at 2.5?) and i didnt buy into ABIO at 11$ when i was thinking about it. Gonna end up like 3k in the hole today

I sold ABIO at just about $13 a share for $944 profit...had I held that would now be closer to $4k.  Dammit

MARK climbing in after hours.

 

Man, I wish I had that kind of influence on the market that Wall Street does.

 

 

If it hits $3.40 after hours I wonder if my trigger will occur in the morning

Anyone have any good resources to learn more about doing this stuff? I obviously dont know enough to make good decisions. Thought i was figuring stuff out after last week but this week has gone downhill fast.

In order I went:

 

1. Investopedia

 

2. Youtube

 

3. Practice account (tons of brokers online will give you a free account with fake money to play around with and learn how to trade, test your gut, etc.)

 

4. Figure out how much you have to invest

 

5. 80% got distributed across my long term hold stocks (think banks, airlines, blue chips, dividends, indexes, etc) and 20% went to swing trading.

 

6. Profits from the swing trading go back into the long term

 

7. X amount every pay cheque goes into my trading account, same math: 80% of that amount into the long term holds, 20% into the fun money

 

8. Rinse and repeat.
