Slow day and got myself bagged on MSFT and AMZN .. COULD HAVE FLIPPED BUT flipped both instead decided to push for more profit .. the risk is minimal and all are div stocks if they bag into exdate ! No biggy as they will hit above the buy price tomorrow or a few days Im guessing .. It’s not a get rich type of trading but extremely consistent day trading … I base it on the opening charts patterns of each stock to make the decision to jump on them ( usually on a open drop in price and the pattern through the day mostly goes back up … sometimes they will just flat line making profits less or possibly bagging for a day or so ..
for someone starting out I think it’s a great way to learn and gain confidence.. starting out doing something like $25 buys and flip on a few Pennie’s into green won’t break the bank of anyone .. Then when you get comfortable raise the buys to $50 and so on .. watch the chart patterns and see what the ones you choose do .. or just set a small amount higher on a limit order and go from there .. limit orders allow for you to take a shower or a good luck walk hahahaha !
As you can see I choose the large solid companies mostly and throw in some smaller solid companies like VZ , PM , KO with a couple full share buys and flip the same as the big companies stocks .. I already own all those in larger full core positions and don’t touch those as they are dividend income positions ..
As for WMT … being down and not excessively high on the price is a good core position right now IMO !
I decided to start doing the day trade fractional because I’m tired of the volatility and the high cost of a full share with the large company stocks ..
Aapl hit all time high again today , div is week but growth IMO is there going forward as with GOOGL , MSFT , AMZN ETC…
It’s been a long time since MSFT or CAT have done a split and consensus ( Blah Blah Blah ) puts both at the top possibilities of a split since the prices are way up ,especially CAT which has a huge quarterly div..
Even bagging or just buying and adding small dollar trades on CAT and others over time , put in the drip and cost averaging adds up . A split would be fantastic on both hahahaha !
