    Why is there no stock topic at SBR?

    I Know, I know we are a sports gambling forums. However, Since by nature we are gamblers and number crunchers. I'm pretty sure we have some wise Market "cappers" here. Show me your talents like a stripper. haha. So who's a successful market investor.

    Haha, But realistically. We will never get rich buying google or apple. Playing google or apple is like betting -1500- -3000 lines for a living lol.

    but I get the catchy headline Op.

    Forex trading more like slots instant gratification, and low buy in. Should appeal to the masses here.

    I posted my trades here for awhile several years ago, but I dont think most here have enough $ to play the markets effectively, if you dont have at least 50k to to be trading with, you probably dont stand much of a chance with capital gains taxes, market maker fees, level 2 fees, and you cant trade stocks daily without having level 2 access to all the market makers, I trade out of a IRA so I dont have to worry about taxes. Having said that, Im retired and all I do is trade stocks, not on a daily basis, but I do make around 10 trades a month.

    I will throw one out there, COWN Id buy it if it gets around 3.52 give or take 2 cents either direction, with a stop loss at 3.39 if you take the position, then a sell price at 3.68-3.70, I buy 5000 share lots so if I got stopped out Id loose around $650, if it hits my sell price Id show a profit of around $900, Id also move my stop loss up to $3.65 protecting my profits in case it broke out to the 3.80 range,JMO.

    If you study charts like I do, a person could have made this same trade between 3.52 and 3.70 3 times in the last 5 trading days, I made it once already in the last 5 days, with a new open buy order today at 3.52, order just filled.

    Come on man you arent that stupid even in your role here, back in the mid 80s I bought a 1000 shares each of XOM, GE, and HOG,all around $8 a share, with all the splits and re investing all dividends back into the stocks I retired a few years ago and now live off the dividends.

    If you want to retire with a steady stream of income then you want to buy only stocks that pay dividends. Keep reinvesting those dividends and slowly build a good steady income. Start off slow buying stocks like electric co., gas co, oil co. and so on. It will keep you in the lower tax bracket. Build is the key word!

    Successful investing is antithetical to what gets most of you all jazzed up. Two words..... LONG TERM. Ask the Oracle of Omaha... always a net BUYER of stocks. He is rarely a seller.

    Ok things have changed on this position since I posted the trade yesterday morning, 1st it broke through double support on lower than normal volume, when it broke below 3.48 and closed at 3.46. 2nd the 50day moving average is coming into play at 3.37, so Im going to lower my stop loss to 3.36. On a technical view it doesnt look good anymore, it needs to get above 3.52 and stay there.
