What Do You Do when you buy a growth stock to be one of your

[tyfighter3]

Well, those interested in APPL today you would have bought at 10.20 am at 91.80 and if you wanted to trade it sell at 12.50 pm at 93.55, a big winner.

Look at when MSFT peeked and the circumstances. They controlled the PC market at the time too. Might as well let it run til the next "correction".

[tyfighter3]

All you have to do is wait till some High school kid invents a better Tec and puts you out of faver. LOL That's why I'm not a big Tec fan.

[tyfighter3]

In a 100 years which of these companys will still be around?

GE or APPL

XOM or APPL

P&G or APPL

I'm a winner today and plan on being one later on too. LOL

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Hahaha.. I'm with you 110% my friend. As far as I'm concerned IBM is basically the only long term tech company there is. Google might be around for a long time as well, but they are getting into difference plays than just technology.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Come to think of it, i dont mind a certain degree of exposure to tech when it comes right down to it. I pay attention to the industry enough to have a sense of what is going on. But again, aside from the two companies I listed in the last post there, I don't see any tech company as a long term play. JMO.

[tyfighter3]

That's why IBM wasn't on that list.LOL but in hindsight.

IBM or APPL

I don't want to offend all of my TEC buddies, lol so there.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Lol... I've got some thick skin no worries about a little pitty party over here... . If anything, I'm probably a little too shrewd when it comes right down to it. Ah well, what ya gonna do? I've got that damn German blood in me, lol..

[tyfighter3]

Hec, if I can't fool around with my friends, who can I? I try with Bruce once and awhile but He just wont let me get away with it. LOL

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

That's exactly it, life's too short... Bruce has a great sense of humor, we're just a little nerdy...lol.

[tyfighter3]

Nerdy, I know lol, if only he knew. lol

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

I'm pretty sure he wears it with a badge of honor, lol .. I know I enjoy his comedy, it requires a thesaurus...

I'm not, just showing the Pattern. This thread is intended to show how to lower your cost basis when the market is going lower. No need to trade if your core holding is going up. But if you only day trade, why not make them winners if you can.

[tyfighter3]

It's nice to see one of your picks breaking out to new 52 weeks highs.

KOG biught 9.45am at 13.58
it's at 14.09 right now at 2.44pm

This stock is starting to breakout to new highs, put stop in at 13.80. Will let it run.

[tyfighter3]

KOG closed at 14.35, no need to sell anything yet.

If you daytrade, I wouldn't hold anything over a weekend. JMO

Hey, Ty. Couldn't remember which thread we were taking about this in. So I thought I would just post it here. You were calling for a billion, looks like it might be two.

I think the bigger question is: When do you sell? How much downside are you willing to accept? For me, it's 10%. The problem with holding for a 20% or 30% drop is that by doing so an argument can be made that you are too emotionally involved with a stock. I'm with gdgyva when it comes to dividends. The10% rule has worked for me pretty well, and often I'll have the opportunity to buy the stock back at a lower price. Sometimes, it doesn't work out so well. A couple of years ago I bought International Paper at about $27. I rode it down and stopped out at about $22. Look at it now. Shit happens, but I think I've been better served by using stops. One thing I truly believe is that a core holding has to be a strong holding. If the market as a whole is down, then it is what it is, but if your core holding is taking a beating while the market in general isn't, then there are probably some fundamental issues that need to be looked at. Good luck!

[tyfighter3]

Frank, I'm talking about corrections of 10%to 15% that the market does to bring in the right value of a stock. Your right when you say that a core holding has to be a strong stock. Say you bought a new stock that you want to be one of your core holdings for at least 5 years or more but when you bought it, it was at it's high and then droped 15% because of a correction in the market place. Lets say you bought 1000 shares of xyz for 10,000. The correction now puts your shares worth 8500. Now your stock is going to bounce around for a few months before it comes back. This thread is into patterns that happen everyday and at what times they happen. I like to see a stock open up close to where it closed the day before, then go higher and set a high ( this usaully happens around 10 am , then goes down and sets a low Usaully around 10:30 am) I like to see this low, lower that what the stock opened up at. This is when you buy 300 more shares of your stock, then sell these 300 shares at 11:30am. You do this a few times and you will bring your core holding basis down and still maintain your 1000 shares. You want to wait till the correction is over and a new base is getting put in on your stock is the best time to do this. Try this on paper with a stock, you will be truly amazed at how simple it is. Use a line chart, you will see it better. I'm putting this out here because I think that we might be close to a correction. There is no Math you have to look at, no emotions to get in the way, just let the Market show you what it will give you. Do your DD and this is JMO.

Alot of people get greedy when they Daytrade and it gets them into trouble. Just take what the market will give you and be happy. Winners, no matter how small are still winners and they add up over time. All I'm trying to show here, is when is the Best time to buy or buy short.

Lets say you buy a stock at its high end of its price range and something happens not related to that stock that drives the whole Market down. In a few days your stock is down 20%. The test is how do you trade this stock to regain your loss but ending up with the same amout of stock you started with and keeping that amount along the way and by doing that you have lowered your average price per share down to the current price in the market?

I think the Question is simple to understand.

Personally my limit is 10% and I pull the pin automatically. At that point I'd rather be out and observe, maybe catch the stock on the way back up if I'm still a believer. If a stock gets hit 30% it's likely more than a broad market story.  My normal strategy would be to buy back in no more than 20% at a time and evaluating as I go. If I'm still experiencing losses after a couple of these trades, I'm out altogether and moving on to something else.  I'm not a big options guy, but you can always look into buying some insurance puts. I've learned my lesson from past mistakes when it comes to being overly attached to a stock.
