Not yet, so I guess that is the trick, not regretting that you could have made more if you hung in.
Well...it's more about self discipline.
That penny stock you were looking at...
Do you know from looking at the charts why you would have chosen it if you did decide to play it?
At what point would you likely have been able to jump in and ride it knowing what direction it was going to move?
Anybody can look at a chart and wish they would have taken part in riding it fully...but reality is very different.
And that's why I directed you to the things to study. So long as there is movement you can make money.
EPS, valuation, and market are absolutely crucial to understand before you jump into a stock. Tips and rumors are usually good ways to lose money unless you are truly insider trading which is illegal. Even Martha Stuart went to jail for that.
Most beginners in trading lose their money and quit. Sometimes deeply in debt if they don't learn quickly enough.
Of course I made bad calls today. But I made more good calls than bad ones and I am not afraid to admit my mistakes when I make one. Bad calls are just that...bad calls. I'm not a loser...I just made a bad call and when the market says it wasn't time yet for my predictions...it's a bad call.
I lost out on about three calls today and reversed my positions and did better. Sentiment sometimes beats forecasts. But make no mistake...long term those predictions will come true because the fundamentals are true.
I've made 5.8% on my money in two days because of the work I put in. Wish it was more...but it's not. But I also know that paying attention with edumakated guesses works wonders.
