Any part-time Day Traders here taking advantage of the Covid-19 volatility?
Since I am in quarantine, I have had the time to day trade the market. I am not a professional in any way, but I have manage to hit 25% profit this week!
Anyone else day trading? Maybe we can share data on what stocks you are watching, what gappers you find, and what you feel is about to break out.

Just to be transparent... I did give up a a little bit of profit today but still finishing up 23% for the week. With all that's going on it feels good to win on this front and be looking forward to see what the market does on Monday.

C'mon, I know some of you all are trading! If we share info we can trade even better...
On this post here, I felt really good about Paypal, and said I was going to buy..... april 13th I bought 50 shares at $106, today its $177.. plus I have sold it and bought it a few times during this same time period to take profits on gaps up, then repurchasing at the bottom of a correction..
Share some of your winners...!!!
Currently, I am feeling BlackBerry Ltd NYSE: BB, is ripe for a buyout! It's currently at $4.85... I am purchasing 5k shares.. looking at the charts there is not a huge downside potential but , but a very big upside.. I will put my stops in place to prevent any huge losses on my part... I am willing to hold it for a few months, but I will be watching it for gapping opportunities to sell, then repurchasing at the bottom of the corrections.. Let's Go ride the wave!Last edited by Winning; 07-03-2020 at 02:37 PM.

This cat is now embarrassing himself using the tactics of some trading tips manual from 2009 he tripped over on the web while enjoying his bailout. HIT THE MESSAGE BOARDS and drop a symbol with an unattributed *ripe* spin. Pump it baby! Pump that ****!!

Please, help me see myself.
I would like to follow your line of thought... I linked the post where I talked about buying PayPal a couple of months ago... How am I embarrassing myself? It kind of sounds like you are hating just a little bit.
In case you missed the link to the post.

Where is the spin?
I also prefaced this thread with the fact that the trading stuff I do is only like a hobby, and due to the shutdown I have time to play with my hobby...
Again where is the spin?
Regarding if I did (or did not) trip over some info in 2009 that is beneficial to me or someone else what does that even matter?
That comment makes you sound a little bitter and sound like you are hating.
As I sit and think about your comment, what just came to mind was how the companies that received the huge bailouts in 2008, turned around and did stock buy backs with the bail out money! You remember that.... That was crazy....Last edited by Winning; 07-03-2020 at 08:34 PM.

haha, all good ..definitely learn now that everyone seems to have time and picking up new hobbies...just an fyi if you use robinhood for stocks its ok since its free and cool app whatever but if you plan on getting into advanced stuff like options,forex, etc try a more robust platform like think or swim or fidelity....robinhood can also support options but its not as good as the others imo, and just don't end up like that young trader on robinhood

I actually use the TD Ameritrade think or Swim platform. They have tons of education... I remember when I 1st learned about stop-limit orders, thats been huge for me and have saved me from getting myself into to much trouble.
Do you do any day trading, or swing trading yourself?Last edited by Winning; 07-06-2020 at 09:40 AM.

BB 12% on the day! I have never made this much return so quickly! What are the odds of me feeling this way about BB! I can't make sense of it...
As much as you all have given me over the years... I hope me mentioning BB here may have spurred someone here to look into BB and invest it in.

I am in a state of disbelief myself! Blackberry themselves has issued a statement saying that they don't know WTF is going on with their stock prices.. I don't know if I should close all my current positions or what...

...it seems that MAIN STREET is going against WALL STREET. Looks like millenials are committing a virtual armed robbery.

The Gamstop thing is crazy! I didn't take any postions my self... I could have bought it at $80 after it ripped to $150, but thought it was over.. Then then next day it rips to $300... I personally know people that have made over $10,000 profit on Gamestop in a 24 hour period... There is a daytrader I follow on youtube that livestreams his trade and he profited +$200K on gamestop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyrmhoO-01M
Looks like the trading platforms are trying to prevent this from happening

After people I personal talked to made huge gains on Gamstop, yesterday I took some small positions on Nokia (invested $300) and AMC (invested $300). My Nokia position is currently -31% and my AMC position is currently -38%..... God Damn FOMO got the best of me.
The things that the brokerages are doing to prevent the run up is working. I guess the short sellers are now reaping all the benefits. I think this is a very public display of just how rigged the system is.. This can become very bad for the stock industry. The optics just doesn't look good when the hidden hand that is always present shows up in such a public way.
Discord shuts down the Wallstreetbets server, the brokerages moving the goal posts, etc..
Just like the Tech industry kicked President Donald Trump off the internet, they can do the same thing to anyone or anything...Last edited by Winning; 01-28-2021 at 10:38 AM.
