Daily Trading

Looks like a flat day of trading from Europe... DAX and FTSE are flat as a tack at present. No major trends up or down it seems today.

 

[anthony]

Figured to play on some silly methods today... the biggest losers and bought big.

 

[anthony]

Well... that worked out ok this time. Made $35k for the day, whilst I slept, then got out again this morning. I know this method is going to bite me in the arse sooner, rather than later, but it was interesting.

My buy and hold strategy is not paying off so well now. Mine are steadily going downhill. I could sell, but hey..they might go back up, lol. I'm going with blind optimism! :D

 

[anthony]

I wouldn't be holding onto anything at present, as the arse IS going to fall out of the US stock market, and you're better of playing the market and getting out quickly, than being stuck with a lot of stock, wishing it to go up... because the reality is that when the arse does fall out in the coming months, that is the time to buy, even on the downward notion... you will make a crap load of cash at that point.

At present, there are no charges being applied to stock purchases or sales from the system... so what you have, you have.

If you're level / in the green, then you're good. Sell it all and play day trader. There is some stupid shit going on with companies right now, like losing 40 - 50% share value, overnight, then going up again... rumours mainly are doing damage prior to share fiscal quarter releases. A good time to profiteer...

I just grabbed lexmark and vmware for tomorrow, as both fell yesterday to their lowest points, or near to, in 2 years of trading. Economists are too greedy IMHO to pass up easy money. They may fall a little more tomorrow, or they may increase 5% or more because greed overcomes.

 

[anthony]

Going to take a risk with SANM and hope it recovers inside a week... atleast some profit. It failed to meet quarter expectations by 0.05 a share... which caused it to drop 20%. Fingers crossed... I suspect this one may drop a little more... risky, but I'm in.

 

[piratelady]

Most of the stocks I have are good solid companies and if they do drop and if the US stock market does plummet, they will be fine and will rebound. There are some others though, that I meant to hold short term and sell high. Unfortunately, things got stressful and I forgot about them. Now I hate to take such a big loss. I am hoping they will rebound at least some and then I can sell and break even or at least not lose as much.

I'm going to wait it out a little longer and hope for the best. Maybe my team will win for the super bowl and I'll have more money to buy stocks if I lose it all! :D

 

[anthony]

European markets are all falling, prior to US markets opening. A possible insight for the days trading.

 

[anthony]

Ok, this day trading is going to be a little too easy due to how the game is setup. It's like taking candy from a baby by the looks of things. I can nearly double whatever money I put on at market opening today. That just isn't even sporting.

I've never been online at US market opening before... just too easy.

 

[anthony]

Anyone who wants to make an absolute fortune today, and I mean that you're going to be online at the opening of US trading, 9:30am New York time, then you want to do one thing, and one thing only, at this given time... watch this stock: Link Removed

Right now, it is 80% up in pre-market. Because the game doesn't use pre-market data, you will still buy at yesterdays closing price, which is obviously that much lower. Put everything onto it, await market opening and for the game data to update, which may take 5 minutes... once you see the profit, sell it all and walk away from it for the day, a whole lot richer.

Now this may drop within 5 minutes of market opening, to 50% or such... but who cares... if you do it quick enough you will nearly double your money, if not make 50% minimum. DON'T leave it on it any longer than the moment it updates. Don't get greedy in other words, because what goes up, will come back down... and usually pretty quickly when the market is concerned.

I will be putting millions on it IF it is still trading so high in pre-market. You can click the pre-market link in the left hand column when you arrive on the above linked page, just to confirm for yourself prior to 9:30...

Remember, buy well before 9:30 here, and you can sell with no penalties here before 9:30 if you change your mind or if the stock suddenly drops too quick. No harm, no foul.

Don't say I didn't give you the hot tip for the day, IF you're online when the US market opens this morning.

Obviously for those who trade the market, this may find you well. For those that don't... you should start reading here more often and playing the game IF you want to profiteer.
