That's true, but timing every acquisition for optimal profit is most certainly a hard thing to do.

We'd all be billionaires. lol

I try to find a certain window: buy as a stock is going up, and sell before it hits the top and starts going down. That way I can get in the house, steal some profit, and get back out before the police arrive.

Hey guys I'm buying up this IMGN stock because It seems like a nice one. Got some shares pre market for 12.03. Up 4% so far today.


No idea what they do or what their financials look like, just going off technicals.

What does this TKR company do? Impressive run up today

edit forward P/E of 13. 2.37% annual dividend yield. These guys must be selling fentanyl.

That could be decent. How many shares did you buy?

ImmunoGen, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company, focuses on developing antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapies to treat cancer.

I've looked at this company before and their stock price over the long term is pretty flat. If it were me, take the 4% one day gain and sell, but that's just me.

I would seriously consider selling IMGN. Could be a pump and dump.

Again - just my opinion.

Next time you feel that good vibe on a stock that cheap buy a few thousand shares. That way you don't need a huge run up to make a decent profit.

Took the profit on TKR.

3000 shares, bought at 48 sold at almost 49. Not bad.

I think I'm almost fat for the day.

FB is crashing hard for the second day. Should've bought puts. Learned my lesson from Equifax on jumping in late though, won't touch it.

BLUE is down another 15 points.

That could be a superball bounce for anybody who times it effectively..

So I get home from bullshit meetings only to find out BLUE rallied late again?

Fuck me, man. Fuck me raw. That cost me ten fucking grand.

I'm still pissed this morning.

I know it goes against one of the rules of trading: "Don't obsess over gains you could have had" but I watched that stock like a hawk for at least a week.

Stalked it like a big game hunter only to line up for the shot and realize I forgot my rifle at hime.

This would have been unimaginable a few days ago but FB might be falling into bounce stock territory.

When is impossible to say but it could happen.
