PG&E stock: Balls of steel stock play

:thumbsup: That is why I like swing trades, no HFT and split second decisions needed.

Well done.

At first I thought swing trading will be hard because of my work schedule. Surprisingly, I now realized it's more fitting to my nature! As I've said before, I'm too slow for daytrading. But my chart reading skills are pretty decent.

So yesterday I got in PCG perhaps a little early $20 instead of the lows of $17.75 due to my work schedule. But I was confident that it would work out due to the chart patterns. Because I waited for the extreme lows. Not the first day of the drop but the 5th day. Of course, it could go to $0 like Lehman Brothers. But my reasoning that it's a utility and it can't fail. At least not too easy to fail.

When the news came out AH, I was relieved. I sold out everything today. It could still go higher. But I don't want to risk some random news about lawsuits and liabilities to drag it lower.

Overall, it was a worthy risk to take. I could have really leveraged up. But I think it's better not to bet too large of proportion of your portfolio on one idea.
 
Finally a trade I made it to the top % gainer overnight on Finviz. hehe

Not apples to apples I guess... but for some reason I want to conjure up the ghost of Bear Sterns.

Boo

I'm glad i got out all of my PCG stocks and options.

BTW, where did you get that chart? Bear Stearn is a dead stock. I love to find a site with data on deceased stocks. Please post link.

Thanks!
 
"The chart" doesn't determine if a company files for bankruptcy or not. Get a grip people, while there may be some behavioral finance information embedded in charts they most certainly can't be used to predict if an investor owned utility will be held liable for fires caused by their equipment any more than reading chicken entrails!
