One is CAPR. It jumped 250+% on a press release today. Closed around $8.50. A month ago, you could buy in below $2.00.

Like I said before, it's a gamble. Some is due diligence, watching volume, seeing what the company is trying to achieve, and basically luck....being in the right place at the right time.

I was lucky with Aiki. I have a stake in Xspa right now. They are airport spas that have hired the former VP of Starbucks, and a Chief Medical Officer. Now why a medical officer?

A little research shows that they are trying to convert their airport sites into Covid test sites for pilots, TSA personnel, and later expand to passengers.

They are in 25+ major airports.

I've been in since the low $.20's. They have spiked into the $.70's........but are settled in around $.51.

When just used as a Spa.... They were a $5.00 stock.

Just the right news, and they could explode like the stock I mentioned above. I'm holding 10,000 shares.

Perfect "lucky" scenario.....I stand to make quite a bit. If not.....long term hold and I still end up making money worth my time.

We are stock pals: I have some NCLH as well. When is the time to dump it? Because I really don't want to hold it long term.

I bought it at 9.50. My plan (was) to sell it all once it doubles, so we're close.

PK has had a nice little run. I bought some in around the upper $6.00 range.

They work pretty well in the real stock market. I tried this with shady alt cryptocurrencies on a Chinese exchange. The slippage was unreal.

RSI, SMA, EMA, Fibonacci retracement, magic 8 ball, etc...take your pick.

EAT looks good till $28. If it can go through that then $35.



WYNN looks good until $100.

Thank you! I need to learn the candlesticks thing.

I set trailing stops of 3-4% on them.

They are also dependent on the overall market, news, and earnings.

Don't forget moon phase, which way my cat is looking out the window, and your astrological sign.

I just realized my sell order of Boeing was filled at 144.9. I bought in at $130, but got scared and decided to dump.

I kind of want to go back in though, I just wasn't comfortable at $130 for some reason. It might not even go that low ever again.

Those are still risky stocks! You might have to strategically get out of them if Covid has a second wave.

If by talking point you mean likely scenario, then yes. If there isn't a second wave, it's because we never really suppressed the first one.

Or WAY more people already have already had it. The data is already pointing to that and that it was in the US in November/December.

Where is the data showing it is in the US in November/Dec?

From my understanding, patient zero was found in Seattle in January.

Haha, it still has a way to go but it did go up some. I sold off several others at a nice profit though.
