So you still have 280 of the original 356 shares that you sold at $56. The other 76 you bought back and have a minimum loss of 170ish. So around 13k give or take. You are underwater at the close about $164 on 280 shares or another 46k give or take. Can you explain to me how you made a profit...

Change it from a hobby to a part time business. Hobby's cost you money, a business is supposed to make you money.

It's to bad you didn't post your trades. I believe everyone thought you were still short the original 356 shares and way under water. I don't understand the KILLING today. Have you closed out your position?

Salty; I'm confused. At the start of this thread you were short 356 shares. I was under the impression that you were going to hold until you taught those SOB's a lesson. Diamond hands and all that. Did you capitulate somewhere along the line? I've been following the thread and didn't see a...

What has changed is that the retail trader has a lot more information and better access to the market than they did years ago. When I started trading you got your data from a day old newspaper, did you charting on a piece of graph paper and phoned your order to a broker. Commissions were 3%...

Salty all you have to do is post a screen shop of your position, same as you did at the beginning of your adventure that shows the P&L. If you didn't dispose of any shares the cost basis and loss will be reflected in todays P&L.

You can still pan for gold today. Environmentalists have pretty well shut down dredging.

One last request; If you are in communication with Dest, maybe you can find out what I did that caused him to block me. I don't care if he doesn't want to see my posts but he responds to many threads I follow and I have trouble keeping up with the conversations.

Yes it strikes me as odd that whoever is trolling you would know you'd reach out to them and offer help. It's a good thing you checked time stamps, area codes and geography before giving out any of your personal info.

So how did you end up with a phone number and all the other info? Did you reach out to the OP or did he reach out to you?

I've been blocked by Dest. I have no idea why; so I miss most of his comebacks. I find it hard to believe that a troll would target you specifically by posting that they needed help. How would they know you would respond? Or did they just post enough to be allowed to PM you and reach out that...

I believe it's a little more than that. You have the book, I'm sure it's in there.

You never mentioned what kind of help you needed.

Minervini also looks at the fundamentals of the company. Very picky about buying the right stock at the right time.

I'd go with what Minervini says. He's the expert.

I thought about it and think it's too risky. If I'm wrong I lose too much.

It's better above the 52 week high. No overhead resistance.

Have the patience to wait for a strong trend. It should be part of an entry criteria.

Trading breakouts is simple; I never said it was easy. When the market isn't trending you trade small or don't trade at all. Be very selective in the stocks you trade. Cut your losses quickly. You know it's a real breakout when it takes off. You can't know before hand. I don't use any...
