Testing The Waters

Just dipping my feet in... :tup:

Just going to let the stocks ride. Bought things that I know. Not to worried about it right now, but I am curious to see what happens. :)

Nice... I know nothing about buying and selling stock, so I'm looking forward to see what happens when the markets open.

I found tesla motors! Cool! I'll buy some of that...

 

[Lady of Longbourn]

:wtf:

Should have sold Tesla when it was doing well, and it was doing well.

I got out of heaps of stocks todays at around 6% profit... helped that Nicolette was up at 3am and I awoke as a result, then couldn't go back to sleep... so I got online when the market was only open for a couple of hours and was peaking.

Whilst I could kick myself for not taking up some options I wanted to yesterday, I am forcing myself out of the market right now, regardless of failing to make 30% + on a few stocks I'd picked yesterday, because overall the market is declining as a majority, and will only get worse over the next few trading days IMHO due to this cliff issue.

I'll probably just wait it out if it does not go back up soon.

I had 3 I would have liked to invest in today, and even though all three had good outcomes, risk is still risk, and it could have gone the other way. I did have investment in one though... INFI peaked +9.6%, is about +9% now and I sold out earlier at +8.5% to get my stock clear. WAFDW has +33% peak, and is around +9.5% at present. PUDA had a +36% peak and is around +16% at present.

The market is going to get ugly for the next couple of weeks... so yer, if you have losses in, you may as well leave them now. Get gains out and let the rest settle up hopefully next year.

Ah... SPMD was the other one I couldn't think of before. It's currently up +26% and is still peaking. A close above 20% for it could be on the cards.

I've noticed. Looks like I am keeping Tesla. Not a real problem since it is not real money and I can wait. No hurry.

 

[anthony]

Yup... relying on the NFL and such for the next few weeks to make me some $$$.

bought stock in companies I know. Lower risk right now. GE is actually the company my Grandfather retired from. I just want to know what it was doing price wise. Bioscrip is the company I work for. Didn't take stock options again this year because money is to tight. I may do it next year.
