And remember ... The Trend is your friend.
If the market is going down, it may be difficult to quickly make up that loss in long positions.
**********************************************************************************************************************************
AMBA......trend is down, counter trend is difficult even for the savvy trader. I see traders repeating the same errors over and over, don't be so loose with your hard earned money...geesh!!

$263 to $70. ...? I knew this was coming ...
"Shareholders Who Have Losses in Excess of $100,000 From Investment in Valeant Pharmaceuticals.."
https://www.morningstar.com/news/globe-news-wire/GNW_6024938/investor-alert-brower-piven-encourages-shareholders-who-have-losses-in-excess-of-100000-from-investment-in-valeant-pharmaceuticals-international-inc-to-contact-brower-piven-before-the-lead-plaintiff-deadline-in-class-action-lawsuit-vrx.html
They can kiss that $100K good-bye forever.
Looks like VRX is tradeable again. From $70 yesterday to $84. today. That's a good move.

Karennma:
Buy one cheap stock, or a basket of cheap stocks and hold for a year or a few years.
Here are some cheapies with good earnings that have gone up in the last year.
TNK
ZAGG
GTN
BLDR
EFOI - was $4.oo in February; went up to $28 by September. Now $14
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Interesting: TNK is tanking and ZAGG is zagging…what I’ve learned after a setback is to trade small, and less frequently- after a while you will be an expert, i.e., a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in the trade

Mr. Cox,
I'm afraid you're doing selective thinking, thus resulting in your indiscriminate, patronizing bashing. Kindly do NOT misrepresent what I posted, as your post is lacking in logic (with the exception of "trade small").
First of all, please note that I CLEARLY STATED in my original post the following ...
Quote:
"Buy one cheap stock, or a basket of cheap stocks and hold for a year or a few years.
Here are some cheapies with good earnings that have gone up in the last year."
Today is Nov. 27, 2015. My original post was made on October 20, 2015. -- .
Uh, hello? that was 30 trading days ago. 30 trading days is not a YEAR.
As of today's current prices, in 30 trading days,
TNK is down $1 ($8.11 - $7.21)
ZAGG (up) + $8.32 - $9.90
GTN (up) + $14.55 - $17.19
BLDR (up) + 12.51 - $13.89
EFOI (up) + $14.24 - $15.43
Furthermore, my post was just that -- a post suggesting holding some stocks.
If you think you're so good daytrading, then put your money where your mouth is.
Go to the INTRADAY ALERTS thread and post your trades in real-time instead of misrepresenting what I posted.
BTW, don't be fooled by the "screen names". Most of the peeps who frequent these boards have been here a long time, and I have no doubt the original poster can pull up a chart and see for himself what the stocks have done.

Call me stupid, but I just thought about something this morning ....
The easiest way for you to make up that money is NOT trading.
Buy one cheap stock, or a basket of cheap stocks and hold for a year or a few years.
Here are some cheapies with good earnings that have gone up in the last year.
TNK
ZAGG
GTN
BLDR

OK it's 2 years now...
TNK (down) ($8.11 - $1.45)
ZAGG (up) + $8.32 - $19.1
GTN (up) + $14.55 - $15.1
BLDR (up) + 12.51 - $17.44
EFOI (down) ($14.24 - $2.78)
If you invested $50000 and put $10000 in each you now have $51015 or about 2% gain.
If you invested in SPY your gain would have been roughly 25%

I would recommend not over complicating things. This is the best site I've found for information.
Consider just trading ETFs to simplify. Google Charting Weath. Sign up it's free. Read all the information on the site. Start watching the daily videos on youtube. It's not a perfect system, but if you follow you will make money. It's all free. Also check out the youtube videos from Adam Khoo. He has a lot of free videos from basic trading to more complex.
