Here we go boys.. This could be the run up to Monday.

 

GNUS just kissed $4.00 I may just average up.

THank god, stop limit for 4 being setup today just in case. I cant handle another drop below that. Well i mean technically i can, emotionally i cant. Well $&!#, it triggered. Gonna have to decide now if i want to buy back in or say &^@# it

ok got back in at 3.35, so 15 cents down. Probably will go back up to 3.7 before the next big dip so ill put a limit there. My orignal break even point was 2.08 and i only needed it to get above 2.27 to recover all my losses from all trades i have done so I threw everything in at at buy in because i expected it to go up 20 cents easy. Everything else has just been bonus since then

got my breakeven point on GNUS down to 1.96. Im hoping to lower it again as it usually dips in the last hour, hoping it spikes up high enough before that for me to sell and buy back in. We will see how the next hour goes

 

Have my sell for 3.7 atm but may consider 3.5 if it gets stuck between the two points depending on the time.

edit again, changed sell to 4 so i dont get forced to sell too soon if a spike happens like what almost happened a min ago. Still looking to sell in the next 30-45 at above 3.5 but not until the upward trend seems to stop

i panicked and sold at 3.6. We will see if this is the dip of the day or not i guess.

 

Got scared again and bought back in at 3.5. Yep bought back in too soon damn shaky hands

My break even point is down to 1.91 though so I should be able to hold on through the red times barring a major disaster.

I've been waiting to add RBC to my canadian financials, this may be a good opportunity to add them and BNS as well.

Owned Royal for years. P/B should recover to 1.8 so I would add. BNS I sold months ago as I decided to lighten on Banks. If I was to move back in BNS and BMO would be my choices. I also tract SLF for a financial opportunity.

FMCI taking Tattooed Chef public.

 

Not the giant we all expected, but still a growing company currently doing 150 mill in revenue and continuing to grow. 

 

Price target for FMCI is a lot lower but still probably going to hold for a while.

Brutal.. I'm waiting on that Impossible Foods IPO.. I may put a 2nd mortgage on the house for it.. Anything under $100 is a steal when it happens.. And no I'm not joking.

Yea Dawg there's no denying it I like steady stocks that aren't sexy but the banks have done well for me.

 

I am no expert but anytime the dividend hits 5% plus hit it and sleep like a baby. Call me in 10 years and see the triple.

Remind us all when it happens....not your mortgage but the IPO. You've made some great calls.

I bought BMO at 66 a few weeks ago, TD at 57

hmm, lowered my buy in price because it seemed to be dipping early and didnt want to buy before it bottomed out. Its possible i missed the dip now though, we will see in the next 30 min i guess.

 

Ok it sorta looks like yesterdays pattern where instead of a dip theres a slow bleed until after lunch so im holding off on buying for now.

Yeah i sold out as a slight loss now because i cant handle the stress anymore, Taking my money and running and just going to sleep. Im up by about 36k from my original buying so i should be happy about that right? I will make myself be happy about it and not worry about what could have been if my hands werent so weak.

I gotta see proof of these profits to be honest.

 

Asking if 36K profit is good from somebody who has “Weak hands” doesn’t make sense. Somebody with weak hands would be happy with $10 profit.
 

$36,000 US converts to about 50K CAD which is the average Canadian income a year.

yeah i put 34k USD which was everything i had. At the time i needed a 30 cent increase to recover all my losses from all the trades since i started. There was an offering the day before that dropped the price down by a dollar and the previous 3 offerings all hit new highs in the days after them. So i took a big risk and threw it all in. Didnt go anywhere the first day but the second day i was up by 50 cents so i had made my goal. Next day i almost doubled my money. Day 3 ended with me up 4x the orignal. Day 4 started with me up 5x and then crashed down like crazy. Since then ive just been looking at how much i could have had rather than what i did and every time i went to sell the pre market stomped the price and then i was like, it  will come back up so i held off. The past 2 days i was selling and then rebuying at lower prices to increase my shares to try to hold on longer but im so stressed out now i need to stop. I know what i did was stupid and could have gone really badly for me. I dont think i can take such a risk again even with me coming out ahead this time

 

 

Side note: I was doing this through RBC so its 10$ a transaction, so i cant do little ones without losing money just on the fee.

OK you need to ask yourself why you're doing this? Gambling with all you have it nuts. Sounds like you're part thrill seeker, part masochist. There's better venues to scratch those itches than in the markets.

 

You're fortunate it worked out. Next time may lead to ruin. I have seen too many people do what you've done and ruined themselves. Get a handle on this ASAP. Good luck to you Yoshi. :)

I lost 25k in my investments due to the covid crash which was made worse by me not pulling my money out of my investments through the bank until mar 23 which worked out to be the worst day of the year to do it. I would have probably almost fully recovered by now just doing nothing. So the lack of control over my money made me want to start doing this, ive actually been interested in it for years but have been too scared. I hopped on the VTIQ train as soon as i got access to my money for direct investing but ended up dropping 5k in the next 2 days. Fortunately that came back up in price a week or so later and i also tried various other stocks but most of them were losses and ERI and the VTIQ recovery brought me back to even for a day. Then i was down 4k again and saw that the GNUS stock i looked at and said ha thats not going anywhere, had basically doubled in price the last week. So basically my goal was to recover my losses at first. Then i started getting hopes of striking it rich but yeah, I am not suited to taking such risks the past 2 weeks have shown me. Even when it was climbing like crazy i was still freaking out. Im gonna take some time away from this and try much smaller short term investments, as it seems i cant even handle a 2 week one.
