JKS will still be on my watch list, it did turn a red earlier this week and I got scragged on a big unwind.
SCKT was probably my pick in premarket, stayed above VWAP.
SNAP is up to almost to 40. I was trading this in the 20s a few years ago. I spoke to someone who was supposedly heavily invested in SNAP during that time and they were waiting to bank on it. Now they had their wish and it more than doubled for them. However, it took several years to do this. The idea of day trading it to make a percentage gain on a ticker that same day whether it be 5%, 15%, 20%, etc. The daily compounding of these figures add up over time and increase your gains. I get it if you had a few hundred thousand invested in SNAP then the return would probably be worth it. But do most of us have that much money to plunk down on 1 of 16000 tickers in the hopes it would double in the next few years?
In retrospect, if I had to invest in a ticker from several years ago and hold it for investment would be NVDA. I was trading that at 99 dollars in 2017. Look it up now. But who knew? And ask yourself can you return that much money day trading over a year? Look at Sykes record and you will be able to see it. He usually starts the year with 12K or so and you can see with what amount he ends up with.
I had bought INTC probably 20 years ago, it did nothing for a year and I sold it. Now it's up 150%. Is that a good return for 20 years with a small account?
Just my 2 cents, sorry to all if you think this is BS. I'm just recounting my experiences and trying to forge ahead day trading and turning to this platform to document my daily activities and thoughts. This is my log and my story.
you have to be in the right mindset… yesterday i sold WTER after holding it for 7months… buying it at the low .90 and made over $400 when sold. Now I could have sold it 3 months ago and made so much more, but I wanted to hold on to it. however by me saying this you have to do what is right for you. follow you intuition
