GME earnings today at 4pm. If they are focused there, AMC may run a bit, similar to yesterday.

So how is everyone’s trading going?

I’m not a bottom feeder but do your thing!

I’d get in and out quick on that or at least be aggressive moving my stop up on green moves. The 6m and 1Y charts are ugly on it.

Agreed. +5% was enough for me to get out. Seems anything sub 9.5 has potential.

Back up a little over 50% overall. I banked on MMAT, and still have 100 free shares with an undetermined value right now.

Red flags:
1. Current price is below it's 200, 150 and 50 day MA. Woof.
2. Many red days in June-August were on higher volume.
3. The stock has not shown any bit of a true reversal pattern yet.

One positive is short term trend line shows higher lows are happening, so it's possible this had bottomed.

Past 3 days of closing have had all very similar lows. 13.51, 13.45, 13.44. I bought late in the day and chose to make my stop like I normally do which is take the low of 13.45 x .999 so I set my stop loss right below a prior low. My stop registered at 13.43 today and I bought at 13.57, which is 1% risk.

And this is why you set stops as a trader.

Closed at 12.86 today. Buying in as a trader, without a stop, is just gambling.

My best performer this month is ILUS , up over 100% and holding.

Meanwhile WHSI is down 29% and I'll hold for it to come back.

AMC looking strong.

I hope you get rich off of it, but ... what is ILUS? I looked for it, and as near as I can tell it's a hardware store that claims to work in ecommerce and does venture capital, but hasn't reported any revenues in two years and has cash holdings of $1,300. It has the feel of a guy at a kitchen table whose mother with dementia is the vice-president.

I bought ASML and It’s up over 38 percent.
Added more to my MSFT.

I’m looking at picking up another long stock any thoughts?

Not sure what you're looking at but here you go. Basically a business acquisition company with a general focus on fire safety. Price target $2-$4.

I bet most of that is 2020 gains, correct? What is your gain/loss year to date?

Trading has been hard in 2021. Most traders are behind the index this year.

I'm not great at long stock picking. If I do take an individual stock long term, it's a blue chip company for the most part. 95% of my long term investments are in indexes/mutual funds/ETFs.

You have one to short at this time lewdog?

I rarely short. In trading, get good at one thing and limit other distractions. I have my rules and I am disciplined!
