Whew! The last couple of weeks have been busy. As much as I love Steemit, I figured I'd give it some rest so that I could spend more time with my wife and beautiful baby girl.
By no means have I quit! I'm invested in this platform, and I still believe in it 100%. Along with spending more time with my wife and daughter, I've started investing in stocks again...
I really like to use the website barchart.com. I find that it's very helpful because I can filter a lot of different ways.
Every morning when I wake up, I prefer to filter by Volume and Price under $10. It really depends on the stock, but I tend to trade any stock that already has positive gains for the morning. I buy no later then 1 hour after the market opens. The first hour tends to have the highest volume. I stay away from pharmaceutical companies (they have burned me in the past).
Sometimes stocks will move just because the earnings report had come out. Don't be fooled though, make sure it's a good earning report. Stocks make positive gains off of negative earnings reports all the time. It's short lived though, so Stay Away!
The most important thing to know when trading stocks, is that you have to have self control! Make goals, and stick with them! Set your sell limits, and make sure to have stop losses. It's been a hard last few weeks getting into stock trading again, and trying out new things, but overall it's been good. I'm up 29.5% on my initial investment! Take care and happy trading!
It feels good to be back home here on Steemit! 😃
That is excellent... I hate the Stock Market... I made a lot with AMZN, TSLA, NFLX, FB, AAPL, etc but usually end up buying to much on the way up and then lose on a big Correction.... I have done much better buying and holding Bitcoin , Ethereum and a Litecoin ... up over 100 % in 2 months
I agree. It's a great time to invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum while they are still low!
