    SNAP

    i’ve got some stocks on that I believe in and do plan to hold onto. Snap isn’t one of them like I said it was just a trade where I said if I can buy this at an extreme it’s worth hopping on board for point or two. I bought XBI today because I believe in it I think it will be one of the leaders...

    Bull Markets Are Comparitively Easy... Bear Markets Are Tough

    Scataphagos is right. I’m a perfect example. I’ve been whipsawed quite a bit as a result of having a long bias. I’ve done relatively OK in this bear but I could’ve done much better had I not been sucked in multiple times I think it’s human nature to be biased towards stocks growing up. It’s just...

    SNAP

    Just a trade. My buy price was actually pretty much bottom, lowest trade after hours was $7.78. sadly if I make some money I’ll sell it to offset the Loss I have from buying SPXL a couple of days ago. Going to get out of that tomorrow also. Although who knows anything is possible maybe SNAP...

    SNAP

    Literally 45 seconds before they announced earnings, I looked at the stock and saw it closed at $10.29. I said to myself what could happen, worst case scenario. Absolutely no basis for this but I replied to myself earning suck or revenue suck or both, and stock is down 25% after hours. at that...

    TA is BS?

    i think with long time frames as well you have to time your entries and exits. If you are going to buy and hold for 15-20 years, you’ll just get market returns. But where TA comes in, you can use the longer MA’s to make decisions that occur onky once in a while. You may get hit by a kid on a...

    What is the psychology of "selling at the bottom" for a loss

    I didn’t read the whole thread, just a couple of pages, so maybe this has already been said. You need to have an exit plan at the moment of entry. When you sell shouldn’t be discretionary, especially based on what you say is happening.. ask yourself…. how much of my capital am I willing to...

    TA is BS?

    TL;DR version…. See the last sentence. I think I’ve got good perspective on this even though I know less than most of you about TA. Being a reformed former buy and hold guy, maybe I’ve got a handle on both sides of the argument. When I became an advisor, in training we were told , look around...

    Catching a falling knife

    Just a rubber band snap IMO. So much pessimism. Now the news is out and fully digested. So the VIX backs off, market snaps back. Bought back my covered call, booked $200 gain

    Catching a falling knife

    Took my short ETFs off and bought back covered calls in a timely manner this morning, took $3600 in profits, 2400 of it in 2 short positions on SDS. Might buy those back later in the day Before anyone asks, the reason I did SDS and not SQQQ, is that I find SQQQ is a little too much leverage for...

    Doesn’t matter how it got there, it’s still down about 25% YTD. So what’s the issue

    Catching a falling knife

    On the other hand, from an INVESTORS perspective , catching falling hives when the market is already down 25% and many good companies down way more, while not without sinks, often presents a pretty good r/r

    What happened on this chart?

    Thanks. Yeah I realize that the reason that one trade was so much bigger is because of the account I did the trade and it’s in a bigger account versus the second account which I did a small trade-in that is just a small account that I set up for trading only I’m going to do my trading or at...

    What happened on this chart?

    Well this was a stupid day. That loss 524. The first trade, the bigger one was done about an hour and a half after I had gotten out of general anesthesia. Dumbest thing a person could do, in fact before I went in I told myself no trading today. I got out thinking it’s not going my way and if...
