Stock Market

The following stocks will go up at least .5% at some point today.
Notice that this is being posted at 7ish EST, and I will not be editing it (it will show you below in my post if I have edited it).

They might close more or less than .5% over where they open - but at some point today, if you got in at the open, you would be able to get out at least at .5% up.

Stocks:
ALT
BER
ECL
HITK
IGT
IMH

and maybe BDY - that one is less certain.

There are roughly 250 trading days in the year. If you made .5% for each of those trading days, that is 125% on the year. Not a whole lot of funds doing that right now.

Insider info my ass.

Hmmmmmm, if only my trading commission and stamp duty made that viable…

Wodin, everyone wants to win the lottery.

and FatRat, yes, you would need to invest enough so that it overcomes the trading fees. There are good trading companies for this - most people pay in the $10-20 range per trade since they are only going to buy and hold a stock.
Some pay much more if they are having advice with it, or are just clueless.

But there are many ways to get much lower fees as well.

I dont know about you guys, but inthe UK we pay 0.5% stamp duty on equity buys

I agree all I'm thinking is that .5% can just be gained or lost on most issues on a rumour.

The two risky issues to cover the .5% for today are of course

ALT and IMH since they have lower starting basis.

The others will probably cover and then some.

.5% guarenteed everyday is what I look for.
There is certainly opportunity for more, but conservative trading avoids the big losses.

I also look for closing at or above .5%, but generally speaking, you can get in and out throughout the day with that and be fine.

So those things at the bottom are google? Interesting - I thought maybe George had become clever.

Do you set a daily stop loss?

Yeah there google ads that try and match thread content. Still need to clean it up a bit because there are links popping up for "anabolic sites".
