I've looked at loads of stocks today that went up 30%-60%++ from market open this morning until now.

Seems like early morning is the best time to get in for quick turnaround stocks.

BSQR was nice to me. Got in at $5. She hit $11 today and I missed it...
Sitting around 8.50 right now. No real reason for the jump so I have her set to sell if she dips to 8 or peaks at 9.

My whole 10 shares going hard! Haha.

Were they from market open, or do they include pre-market action?

Everytime I feel like I am getting a grasp on all this after I have read some of the books suggested...I realize I am grasping nothing when I am watching some of these charts. :messenger_tears_of_joy: :messenger_tears_of_joy: :messenger_grimmacing_

Start small. Use the education tools hopefully provided by your broker. Don't make a trade you don't understand.

Other than tracking the price of individual stock and the indexes, then learn VIX and implied volatility. Its a good start to understanding more of the tools.

+1.3%. I'll take it.

For all you guys posting penny stock kinds of stuff, please keep it coming. Onw of these days I'll take a dip and put down $10k on it as a roll of the dice.

If there's any penny picks that's already gone from 50 cents to $5, I'll probably pass I'm probably too late.

But if you guys have a good feeling about something that was 50 cents but only at $1 or so, that's more tempting as there might be more runway left for a run.

Thanks!

I think I missed NVCN but I'm watching it closely. The same person who shared ZSAN yesterday posted it to reddit penny stocks earlier today

Believe it or not it's actually up.

For you guys talking ZSAN, good call. Up another 50 cents.

I might get back into NOK and BB soon. NOK almost at $4 which is where it had trended before Reddit. BB Toronto at $17 which is where it was before the big Reddit week too.

If NOK at BB hit $4 and $16, I'm in.

I only dream it rockets so these contracts come this Friday would be worthwhile... how dirt cheap they were to scrap up.

Also. Impressed by Astrotech’s performance this week. It was one of five tickers I’d been keeping a close watch on for months. Amplify is another. Outstanding.

Patent win as well according to seekingalpha:

seekingalpha.com

Neovasc surges after patent win in Europe (NASDAQ:SWAV)

Following a ~54.7% rise today, Neovasc (NASDAQ:NVCN) is continuing the momentum into after-hours trading with a gain of ~45.9% on the news of a patent win...

There might well be a continued surge as a result well into trading hours tomorrow so worth keeping an eye on.

Late last year I was following a Brisbane Australia company, called Anteotech who do the backend tech and supply to Ellume for rapid at home Covid tests (over the counter tests) and they just secured the US DOD contract with supply contracted through this year. I got in a larger position at $0.10 and now pushed to $0.20. I'll take doubling my money any day. Basically they helped develop the first FDA approved at home testing kit.

Only question left is do I jump now or hang on for a couple of months more...I have a feeling they're going to keep seeing sales internationally growing for at least a number of months with Covid still going nuts and vaccines taking some time to propagate.

EDIT: wish I didn't just dip my toe in mid last year and went in strong. I was looking at the scenario when they were $0.02. Damn.

I'm doing highlights on my kindle, then taking notes in GDrive based on those highlights. I'd forget everything instantly otherwise.

I think I'm just in overload trying to do everything and didn't retain much. I'm gonna give it a other go after getting through a few of the others.

So how do you know when to give up and sell a crappy stock at a loss? I have shares of a company that I believe has a bright future overall, but the price has been trending down for the better part of a year. Opportunity cost has been especially high these days, when it seems like everything else is up across the board.

So I'm inclined to finally give up, but it's so far down at this point that I worry about selling at the bottom and missing a recovery.

Trade companies with high PE. Market seems to be ignoring fundamentals for future expectations.

Honestly, with the way things are these days I give it a couple of weeks and generally I set a stop loss at the 10 week average in case it really goes south.
