connor26... I don't mean any disrespect but it's a good thing you're not in real estate because none of that made any sense. I could explain it to you but it would take a while and it's way off topic here. And yes, I've been a real estate broker for 20 years and frankly, if you employed that logic while representing a seller, you could lose you license for failing in your feduciary responsibility.

Connor26, twenty-five years ago I bought dozens of properties, all wholesale, meaning I could normally sell my position in those properties in a very short time to anther professional and at least get my money back. Buying wholesale has very little to do with the "bricks and mortar", it has to do with the uncomfortable circumstances of ownership. The house sold at big discount has nothing to do with the "bricks and mortar", and I was comparing that to stocks being sold. Do not confuse what I am referring to with a property that has potential if you fix it up, there are profits to be made there too, but that was never my game, and that is about "brick and mortar" plus often, uncomfortable circumstances. The comparison has its problems but the point is that HISC did not get worth less today, people's fear and impatience and profits taking all played into traded at lower prices. HISC is still selling for less than it is worth for those who have done their homework and are willing to take some risks, which is obvious sense HISC is still trading Pink.
PS and dont assume I was a cash for equity person for people in trouble, because I wasn't, there are lots of uncomfortable conditions, that beg solving, like management. Buy apartments and exchange up and out giving the new owner a breakeven guarantee leaseback for a couple years...you can cash out a nice profit immediately with such "management" solution sales.
Ah, those were fun days, but I am glad to not own any investment property at this time.

Connor, your buy and sell low and high works until it doesn't. Just be out of a stock like HISC at $.05, smiling all the way to the bank...those guys are mostly out of HISC, some are bashers, hoping to get out of pain by seeing the stock drop to where they sold. But when it is a dollar and they never got back in...that is when you concept takes on a new meaning. Do your homework, be an investor, trade a little if you want, but to sell out to buy back cheap, is just asking to be taught a good lesson. Yes, I have been there.

However your want to trade a stock...dont ever ever ever ever ever use a stop loss. You will lose big time. I have had it happen on several occasions few years back in my really naive trading. The stock did a big dip down...took me out then shot right back up. It should be called a "stop for sure loss"
