I SUCK AS A TRADER (SUCK)

[andrius]

hah... yeah could have would have.....

I had the same experience with the "other" SIRI, XMSR. The day it hit 1.66(believe it was all time low) I bought up almost 40k with avg just under 1.80. Was almost completely out by 1.85 because it was trading scary. Barely held a few just under 2.00 exit and watched in horror as it ran back. Never traded XMSR again until I shorted it when it was over $25 lol Has traded as high as $40+ since I sold.

I had hoped you realize I was kidding, but apparently that humor doesn't seem to come across...

so long

[nitetrak]

Wow. Neat. Me, I play the small pennies(up to .50) for 25% plus swing trade moves on 1k to 2k bucks. Would seem they'd have to be high volume stocks(1 mil plus) with 3X that amount of cash/trade.
I'll be by. You certainly got my curiosity up now...

[gdog]

2% seems like a small gain until u realise we may flip it ten times a day, now do that with 4-5 stocks and u made some good cash, again stop and watch the full timers do it, they'll impress u...
gerry

[nitetrak]

I'm gonna have to stop by. True day trading I see. I work full time too, just off today. I'm trying to expand my trading plays. Recently been staying in touch with a new board: Blue Sky Breakouts. I've done very well with the trades and again this is another type of trade I would never have dreamed of playing. THX for your input gdog. GLTTY.

[gdog]

absolutly intra day, sometime 5 min or less, i don't trade full time, but visit and watch a few of the others in action... Harbs, Andy ....

I did play the bounce today on LBTS with a $1.42 buy. Like I said I rarely do it but I'm convinced gold will turn back to recent highs very soon.
So far so good.

[nitetrak]

Hey gdog, never had much luck with bounce trades. Interesting to see you often function at that tight of a profit margin. May have to stop by or at least lurk to see this type of trade being played out.
Wasn't aware IHUB had a board specific for bounce plays. As a rule is it an intra-day trade?

[nitetrak]

Well, I may suck as a trader but putting a grand in my pocket felt good at the time. Then again the 8 grand on the 900% move would have felt much better.
Here nor there, nothing sucks about my buying low and selling high skills.

[gdog]

no not possible, 50% 0n any stock is awesome, heck come to the bounce thread and c how many bounce 25% and we sell at 2% profitt lol

[nitetrak]

Why thank you.

[stack]

You suck indeed if you only make 50% while everybody else makes north of 200%.

Relatively speaking you grew poorer compared to others.

You really suck...

[nitetrak]

Is it possible to make 50% on a trade and still suck?
Damn right. Got in AMEP @.021 and sold at resistance at 2nd high @ .03(by the book, no?). I think Friday it closed near high of day, which (shoulda, coulda, woulda) put me up 500% by now.
Yup still watching it...
I suck and please nothing to the contrary. THX.

Did you know that banging your head against a wall uses up 150 calories an hour?

J/K ...I couldn't resist. Tough break :(

[gdog]

k heres y I suk as a trader today, I watched VNWI all morning and into the afternoon, watched it hit .18 then bounce to .20 which I missed, so out of boredom I buy 5k at .20, it immediately starts to tank, I tell Harbs I'll just hold over the wkend, its only 1k.just then people come to place a propane tank at my shed for heat( I switched companies) so I decided to place a sell in at .22 just in case while I'm out talking to the guys, only I forget to change buy to sell, I immediately fill 5 k more at .20, (lucky i didn't pay .22) so now I have 10k at .20 and its at .18 20 minutes left b4 close, then i think what happens if it opens monday at .14 lol I sell at .18 for a $200. loss sheesh.......

[excel]

That dog going. LOL!

[harbs]

the most amazing weather...golf in february in shorts..day after day..unreal..

[sainte-beuve]

I confessed excel! (re: AKOL!)

[sainte-beuve]

my worst has got to be AKOL - held it from .013 all the way down to .02 (or whatever!)... can't believe I did it. Don't know what I was thinking... still can't believe it!!! All well, we move on! Appreciate your posts, harbs.

[excel]

Hey Harbs! I hear ya!

Finally got some rain today along with wind.
Wild weather day up here after all the months of sun.

Fishing season opens up next month! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

[harbs]

we might have to make it mandatory that u can only post on here if it's a loss eh? lol..

after getting schooled by mvog today ( got caught high on the first bounces and didn't flip out in time ) and taking a solid loss when it was all said and done..i only want to read about how people lost a boatload lol..not that they made $10k, but shoulda made $200k lol..

[excel]

Could have's will kill ya. I know unfortunately. I'm half dead! LOL!

[gdog]

I agree, throw yourself off the bridge, plays like that don't come along everyday....

j/k of course....

[Skylanders]

Excel, I could have had over 700,000 G's. Thats the most sickening part. True!! A win is a win. But that my friend is sickening.

fd

[excel]

So you are going to throw yourself off a bridge because your profit wasn't big enough?

You had two winning trades.

Come back when you really SUCK!

[Skylanders]

SIRI

This story almost makes me sick but I figured I will share. I held 70,000 shares at .30!!!!! Stock was driving me crazy with it daily moves. Sold @ .40-.42. Bought back in @ .55 sold at .62. Needless to say I do not own anymore today!!!! PUKING!!! Excuse me. And thats my story. Excuse me while I throw myself off a bridge.

[rlangmaid]

[~ Susan ~]

Enough said...been there...quite recently too I might add.

[gdog]

there was no way to describe how bad i suked lol

[sailorpatp]

Can't argue with that.

[~ Susan ~]

gdog, did you forget why you came here or did you just change your mind? lol

[gdog]

[stockgrl]

We do now... Ms. suckwad sez hello.

[stockgrl]

Bot CNCN @06, sold @ 07. Took CNES home last night @0053, shook out @ 0041 this morning. Man my timing sucks!

[Warhorse]

I just plain suck sometimes. Taken the week off. Just cause I suk. Not in sync.

[sublime]

LOL, andy....i saw HTAC too....just be glad i didn't get in ;)

it's like walking on tacks these days..argh!

better luck tomorrow to us both.

[andrius]

I looked at BVLE most the day... Had a buy .64, cancelled. Tried to buy .75 with 3 MMs asking and get 600 partial fill lol Then cancelled my .75 buy on the pullback and later watched .80 closely in case it ran for 1.00.... Got busy towards close and completely missed that huge spike.

GTEL I made out with some profits but got in 4-5 times today looking for that big bounce...... Last 60k I scratched 1/2 for $1 and sold the rest on the first shake before it ran up almost another .03. lol All day I looked for that run and the second I gave up it too off.

Hoping my HTAC buys .004-.005 will make up for some of this tomorrow.

[gdog]

if u count suking because of missed plays then u know i qualify to be suker for today... at least your played GTEL, NEOM, EVOS, EVOS???? didn't even find that one, oh and i did play WOLV sold flat... and HTAC well hell by the time i figured out why it had lost 75% of it worth you where already selling and i didn't want to buy your sells...

[sublime]

ROTFL!!! really loud!! ty mariner and robin :)
