The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

[Brightwhite]

I did ok today, I have JNJ and JPM, so they washed each other out today. Thinking about buying more JPM at around $95 but that will bring my cost avg up, not down...so not sure if I should wait for it to dip sub $90 again (I am in at around $89/share).

Oil came back and finished about flat with me in CVX and OXY, which was a good come back....I am watching HAL to jump back in again.

I have ABT that reports Thursday, but that was strong today too and is tracking to a good earnings hopefully.

I still just don't get the airlines and hotels...DAL and UAL both up +10-15% today again, HLT and Mar did well too. Guess I am just missing out.

Don't sweat it, there's literally no way to hit all the positions you want unless you've got the kind of cash where your returns don't matter anyway.

Tesla saved me today. I took a couple positions the afternoon before that were bigger than normal for my “system” of trading and boy was I wrong. Sometimes I need a reminder, but I’m glad it wasn’t the hard way reminder.

Today little MIK topped 33% more than I paid...took a couple of weeks but the profits were tasty.

Well done and way to be patient!

I have been having some FOMO lately and been buying MSFT, AAPL, BRK.B, Visa, and AMD on the way back up.

Going to try to hold some cash since I still think we are going to come back down.

 

[Forestryguy]

Thinking of moving my 401 back into more aggressive options. From the little that I have read I missed out on some up ticks the last several days. But I do not think we will loose much more ground now. I am also back to work but a huge wage cut.

Anyone buying 5G stocks for the long haul? Any good ones?

 

[ilikeshootin]

New to the game for sure!!

Mostly bought in couple days after the big dip last month.

XOM, TSLA, TDOC, OXY, NTB, MSFT, MRO, IIPR, GOOGL, DIS, CVX, CLR, AMZN, APPL ...and a couple of others. Yeah I'm all over the map, but not doing too shabby. Too freaked out to try and sell anything

WTI oil is under $20 this morning, unreal.

 

[HuntHarder]

Today is going to be a rough ride.. sold Ual pre market as it was up pretty good from close yesterday. Most all my others are down. Nothing super crazy, but down.

 

[EastMT]

So here’s what I don’t get. CNBC says it’s dropping because earnings today has people worried. Wait, they weren’t worried 12 hours ago? This is fun to watch but has little to no reason just emotion trading it seems.

Yup, I’m not a guru or claim to know the market, but feel the same way too. I cant figure out how stocks within entertainment and recreation a doing so well. MGM, Mastercraft and hotels have been killing it. They were stocks I was hoping to get at a bigger discount, which never materialized. I keep telling myself there will be another drop, but I’m not educated or experienced enough to know for sure. I just can’t see with the unemployment numbers and the lack of spending how those specificstocks continue to go up. I mean, crap, all of Vegas is shit down.....

How do you sell pre market? Is that something I can do with a regular Fidelity account? Would a market order work or? It would be nice to do after hours trading but I haven’t looked too much into it.

No emotions today lol

 

[Thunderer]

You've got a helluva portfilio. Excellent.

I'm getting there.....slowly getting a few dogs out that I started with with this day/long trading, shaping up one stock at a time. I'm just hopeful to catch a least one more solid dip to sink some green in these companies. One would think that with so much bad news yet to come they'll be some steep drops, but maybe it's baked in at this point.

I have a hunch that you'll have ample opportunity to buy positions at bargain prices in the very near future, maybe not as low as mid-March, but low. Earnings reports over the next three weeks should slap a little sense into these traders who are blindly buying because of momentum and emotion.

So here’s what I don’t get. CNBC says it’s dropping because earnings today has people worried. Wait, they weren’t worried 12 hours ago? This is fun to watch but has little to no reason just emotion trading it seems.

Exactly, its a sh*t show. When people trade on emotion and hope, it's unpredictable.

Companies like these have tangible assets which have a baseline value, unlike say...Facebook or Twitter. The real estate holdings in their hotels and casinos may depriciate in value, but there is a bottom, so it's understandable why the stock wont plunge like the others. However, what I can't figure out is why these stocks are trading higher and higher given that their income is solidly in the red.

Yeah. With fidelity, you have to call them, listen to a few disclaimers and they will unlock it on your account. I'm glad I sold pre market today. It's down 2$ a share after open from my sell price.

See a lot of guys trading OXY the past couple weeks. Was curious if anyone is buying and holding until prices bounce back? Was looking at picking some up and holding on to it until they get a solid rebound. Curious what others thought.

 

[Broomd]

TIme to do some shopping boys.

Picked up substantial shares of CDEV at .29... Hoping this sucker is trading at 3.00 this year.
This is a solid debt-free company obviously in a volatile industry right now. Worth a peak.

Big fan of TDOC. I bought it around $70. Lately it seems to move inversely with the DOW which makes sense...fear/virtual medicine,etc. I think they will be acquired eventually

I am holding OXY at $14.50, it may be stupid, but I flipped it from $9 up to $16 something and made money, took a position at $14.50 and just trying not to look at it today. I had been using stop losses, but I pulled it off yesterday and decided I’m just going to ride it out versus losing money on the way down...again, probably not smart, but I did it and now I’m committed
