Anyone think CIDM is going to flash to $.60 again? Missed it yesterday but thinking that if it goes to .60 again it might punch through and drop lower
I had to do a double take at the chart on it and even changed time frames down to 1 Min. Thought something was broke on my chart as its been a boring flattish slow slide. If I get any volume alert on the 1 Min that bumps it I will pick up a little more here around .62. Still can lower my cost basis a little bit at .62. After that waiting to .50s should it ever get there.

Come to be $CIDM...come to me.

I did both. Sometimes trades don't work out. I think in this one given I played small, I will be willing to risk the entire premium until expiration.
Man I tried to get fills this morning at $6.80 early premarket. Set it and it flashed there but didn't pick me up. Went to a meeting and came back a little while ago to it having touched $7.15. If it comes back into the $6.80s I will adjust my buy but not thinking it will at this point..

I am a very very conservative investor of shares only- no options, but since following this thread I have both Earned and Learned...

!. Keep at least 30% of portfolio in cash.
2. Go net free when you see the opportunity.
3. The Model T is Real.
4. Use stop losses.
5. When a stock you own takes a dip, consider lowering you cost per share by buying more.

These simple rules have resulted in a 143% gain over the last 18 months.

So thanks guys.

Sorry, but I'd say the number is roughly zero.


There are people on this thread who demonstrate trading discipline, which helps performance.

There are people on this thread who are good at uncovering trading opportunities through decent due diligence.

There are people on this thread who are adept at choosing entry and exit points for individual holdings.


There is no one here who "knows" what they're doing in the markets, as that would require certainty regarding the future. At best, there are educated guesses, and discipline in taking gains or pulling the plug if the concept goes awry.

In my opinion, 99.9999% of the people on this thread (and in the population overall) would be better off investing in a well-rounded market basket of low cost index funds, regardless of investment objective. Certainly this is the case for retirement funds or college savings.

Now, when it comes to fun money, and trying to catch lightning in a bottle with discretionary funds, this thread provides interesting ideas, methods, and concepts. Traders can certainly learn about advanced trading strategies (use of options, for example), but count me as a skeptic as to the value of any "trading system" (especially the pure chartist stuff).

Since my portfolio is about 98% bullish positions, I'll just assume you're talking about someone else?

How do you reconcile these two? Say you have a position of CIDM at .60. It drops to .55 and your stop loss kicks in. When do you re-enter? When a perceived bottom is reached?

Contrarian take on this (not a blanket, all everything statement) - stocks with high prices are priced higher for a reason. It is possible to buy high and sell higher, just like it is possible to buy low and sell lower. Buy dips on an uptrend, don't buy spikes on a down trend. The market is efficient but it can be inefficient in individual names. When you find these opportunities, you should jump on them.

In general, you should sell a loser when it has no reasonable chance to recover or there are fundamental alterations to its business. Remember that unrealized losses are the same as realized losses and you should always evaluate where you can best deploy your capital. Example:

  • You bought stock A at $10, it is now $5. It might recover, but doesn't look good
  • Stock B is $5 and can go to $20.

Where should you deploy your capital? you should sell A without thinking about it and buy B. Human nature makes this hard for us. We want to be right and will therefore stick with losers. F being right. Embrace being wrong and getting out before you make it worse.

The chyron is why you buy the dips in good stocks and stocks in general during corrections. So many new people are now in the market and as long as the fed keeps the presses going, we should profit handsomely.

Very well stated. This is the kind of broadly-applicable trading advice that really brings value to this thread.

Being able to ignore "sunk costs" in your analysis is one of the most difficult things to do in trading (and life overall, to be honest).

My younger brother just graduated and got a new job with 401K matching (I told him always contribute the max), but he has also started a Fidelity account and was looking to put his idle cash to work.

For someone who will be very hands off and not check it often, would he be better off putting this in a mutual fund through fidelity or just buying shares of some solid ETFs? He wants to invest in tech and large caps so I was thinking maybe the ARK funds would be good for him?

I would do Vanguard for something like this. Lower fees

If it's truly invest-and-forget-it, it probably doesn't matter. Just minimize fees by choosing low expense ratios and always avoid transaction fees. I personally prefer ETFs, mainly due to being able to trade intraday, and for slightly more control of tax efficiency. You can also use advanced strategies, like writing covered calls on them to boost income.

I'm a fan of the ARK funds and their management philosophy, but they are actively managed and have a higher expense ratio. Worth it? Maybe, but that's a personal choice.

I set my stop losses at 10% from purchase price initially and then adjust them if the stock moves up. This prevents any catastrophic losses on a collapse. Which i have experienced in the past, before i started doing this.

When it triggers i do a little due diligence to see if or when to repurchase. I stated that i am conservative - so a 10% drop means the thing is too volatile for me to play with.
