    I have used Fidelity for at least 10 years. They currently allow trading stocks with zero commissions
    and their executions are excellent

    What is the rationale for buying IBAL? No announcements/news, disappointing earnings, no movement in years, multiple days per week with zero volume.

    I sure hope its not based off hype.I would hope and assume that bowser report took that in consideration before making this a stock of the month.

    Right,but when I bought it went up 80% and it never hit 100%.It then dropped 80% in 2-3 days.Should I have sold? Because it dropped 80% in such a short time?

    SELLING PLAN: Sell half of your holdings when the stock doubles from your purchase price. Sell the remainder after the stock drops 25% from its most recent high. If the stock drops 50% without doubling, sell all shares.

    So if you bought it at $1.14 like I did you would sell all if it drops to $0.57. If it had doubled to $2.28 then you would sell half and sell the remainder when it drops 25% from that.

    Should I have sold? When a stock drops 50%? I am now -13% from my original purchase price.Should I continue to hold til it hits and if it hits -50%? Or should I have already done that when it went from +80% to +30%?

    I am curious too.I was up 80% then it went down to 6% in one day.I am thinking it was insider sell off? Maybe sell the news then hop back in?

    I got hit with a $38 “mandatory reorganization fee” as a result of the reverse split.

    in reply to: New Year New Portfolio #15805

    I do pretty much the same thing. Only difference is that I shoot for a specific dollar amount rather than number of shares. I want each position to cost a certain amount (say $2,000) so I immediately enter an order at the “price listed on the listing page” for 1/2 of that amount ($1,000 in this example.) I then wait for the price to fall below that amount to buy the second half of my position. I’ve missed out on some winners this way, but am quite happy with the over-all results.

    I have also been a subscriber for many years. 2016 and 2017 were great, 2018 was terrible and 2019 was great again. Over-all, I’ve had a 20.47% return since I “joined” in January 2016 (computed using MS Excels IRR function.) Using the same formula, the S&P was up “only” 12.6% and the Russell was up 9.9% I have panicked a few times and sold “losers” before they had the time to run and have generally regretted it. I now follow the plan 100% of the time. However, I’m running into a “problem” where I think I have too many positions to keep track of – currently 18. Trying to convince myself that, since this part of my portfolio is on auto-pilot, the number of positions doesn’t matter much.

    Thank you for the
    generous chart offering.

    Exactly curiosity’s gem.

    (it can’t be said
    that it surprises me)

    (however, it is valuable
    to have it professionally
    technically confirmed)

    Speaking of the New Year

    does anyone have
    a technical opinion
    of the charts of

    the S&P 500 index

    the DJIA index
    (Dow Jones
    Industrial Average)

    “I wonder as I wander.”

    in reply to: vertex energy #15559

    I guess that energy name
    won’t be Contango (MCF).

    I was right there when
    MCF dropped to 85¢.

    woulda, shoulda,

    Unfortunately, the coulda
    was a little lacking.

    Thought there’d be
    a little more time.

    If all stocks moved down
    and back up that fast,
    it would be easier to
    make money.
