Saw this company was a contract winner and it was going up quickly pre-market. Tried to get 2K shares at $1.10 but only got 1900 because it was going up fast, did not want to chase it and canceled the remaining 100 share order in case it crashed, I didn't want to buy on the way down. Watched to go up $1.40 then start dropping, I tried to get out a few times but could not get executed. Ended up putting a sell limit at $1.15 and got out with an average of $1.17. Small win. Back to studying!
Forgot to post this trade from 02/07/16 (trying to forget actually) This was when they released earnings after the close. I tried reading the report but wasn't understanding it, plus kept seeing the stock quickly climbing. I hesitated too long to buy, then when I did, I guess people realized it ended up being bad earnings and it started sinking like a ship with a big hole in its bottom. I need to learn how to read an earnings report (and understand it) in a few seconds.
(FYI, this trade was not from 02/06/17, I bought 01/30/17 and sold 02/01/17) I missed the epic run on this in November, wanted to finally get in on some of the action! Had been waiting for that first green day finally, on 01/30. Should have sold in the $6s, can't complain, first time doubling my money on a stock. Thanks Professor Sykes!
I bought this right after a trading halt was lifted after a negative news announcement about this company. It had plunged 80% from around $19 to the mid $3's. I was attempting to get some bounce play action. It went quickly to around $4.80 then started dropping. I decided to sell before I was in the red. I bought back my shares on the way back up at $4.35, the outcome soon!
I thought the breaking news of Deutsche Bank being fined 7.2 Billion over the mortgage scandal would be a good time for me to try shorting for the fist time. Surprisingly the next morning after being down pre-market, it started to climb. Lucky for me I bought to cover before it went higher than what I sold it for, short.
Was hoping to stay in this a little longer today than yesterday for more gains. Bought 5,000 at 7:31 am for $1.52 and another 5,000 at 7:35 am for $1.55 I broke it up into 2 orders of 5,000 each because yesterday I couldn't get my 10,000 share order filled until the price had increased a bunch because my order was large, according to Merrill Edge when I called to ask what happened. Glad I listened to Profe$$or $ykes and cut losses quickly!
