Truth. This was pretty much me a few years ago. Sure, every once in a while you are going to hit a good run if you have a good entry and exit. But the road of penny stocks is littered with the carcasses of traders that thought they could make it big and lost.

In the long run (in my case at least) mutual funds and stable dividend stocks are better choices. I still play around with individual stocks and penny stocks. Nothing big, I put a grand in a TD ameritrade account last summer, haven't added anymore, and I'm up about 110 bucks. That's a terrible rate of return for a year. Granted, I'm not a skilled trader. There's been some WILD swings, but like pete said...it's my casino money. I don't go out much, and playing in the stock market has replaced my online gaming entertainment. I do it for fun, and know full well that it's not going to make me rich.

There's nothing wrong with taking some $ and speculating. Just know that's what you are doing and do it with money you literally would take to a casino.

This was spot on. Value and small are killing it. Rotating factors is strategic, unlike buying individual stocks.

I don't know if I've mentioned this stock before, but even before the pandemic stuff I had a stock that was doing really well for me called SLP. It's a tiny company that develops software to do simulations of drug absorption and other molecular stuff. It's growing, profitable, and even pays a small dividend. For some reason it made a huge jump today, though I don't see any news. I'm not proposing it as a speculative thing, but I've had it a couple of years or more and it seems like a good long term hold if you're okay with microcaps.

It closed up over $1 higher than you sold and the chart pattern looks as if a short term head\shoulders bottom was just put in during this recent sideways move. It wasn't a bad selling point but it could be setting up for a breakout to the up side.

Actually the more I look at the chart the more bullish I get on COST. Has a nice up trend line

I own a bunch of VMW, up 10% after-hours (post-ER). Good Q1 report, especially amidst COVID. Hopefully, it continues to run - this stock has been depressed for quite a while now, which hasn't made any sense to me. Should be a $200 stock.

I cropped it bit I believe it was a daily year chart. Are they getting killed that bad in the after market? Yeah they are down almost $6. Still good and probably good buying opportunity. I admit I am not up on what their news cycle is but it looks like they released earnings today so you did good selling or buying puts.

I hate earnings announcements especially before or after the close. It's rigged bullshit.

Looks like they came in about .06 under estimates.
