I'm pretty sure I saw a 2025 strike that was around $.70 someone entered into for $650,000 total. Valued at 52mm when I checked after reading it a couple days ago. Someone always knows

CRWD, KKR, and GDDY into the S&P. PLTR and DELL passed over again

I'm looking at buying some stocks to hold (months/years)

Thoughts on AMC, $200 worth at $4.50 per

Get away from the meme stocks.

Monday buy KVUE. Currently $18.39. Set a stop at $17.80 which is a hair below the recent low. Below that and downside is not protected at any level. Make sure your stop is "good to close". Target $23.50-$25.00. On 100 shares, the stop puts your max loss around $50. The minimum target is $500 gain. Your potential minimum gain is 10x your risk and a 32% overall gain. If you get stopped, you lost 3%.

Dividends, reinvest?

Your call. It's a shorter term play.

I have a couple of questions for those of you using Schwab:

I've been using for about a year since my Ameritrade account was converted over. I have a a portion in cash which i have in SWVXX. Schwab lets me sell CSPs against it, and if assigned, I just get a notice to add cash and I then sell enough to cover the purchase.

On the other hand, Schwab will not let me open VPCS's against SWVXX. I have to keep enough money in cash to cover those positions. Anyone know why that is?

Today, I logged in and saw that I have a notice to add cash even though it was fine yesterday. I'm thinking it is because I have a VPCS open on NVDA which is in the middle of processing its 10:1 split. I don't understand why I would need to add cash funds though since the overall max loss should be the same. Any insights on this one?

I was looking to do a small investment (first) since I'm new to this and really don't fully understand things yet. Looking at KVUE, I set things up as you directed but didn't go through with it in a way to just learn. Example, "good to close," I didn't know what that was until I tinkered around on my Charles Schwab account and finally saw "GTC." I also see where you can enter the dollar amount etc..

Does buying stock in the manner you're suggesting make any sense if I only plan on buying 10-15 shares?

Honestly I would avoid these kind of plays for at least a year while you get into the swing of things. I'd recommend just opening your main position on SWPPX, and doing anything else on your Thinkorswim paper trading account.

I speak from experience, not worth getting into risky plays like that this early.

Absolutely. It's all about learning and gaining experience.

Just make sure you log every trade.

Ticker, date, entry price, stop level, target level. When you sell, jot down the date and sell price.

For clarity, I'm supposed to sell at $23.50-$25.00, which could be hours, days or weeks later?

Is that your projection? I'm not holding you to anything. I'm a big boy

Ok great. Thanks for responding. Monday I'm headed straight to my desktop to read this thread and prepare to buy given the green light is still there

And I'm not sure when you started following this thread, but this is important..

Almost everything I outline here is a swing buying opportunity. That means you are buying at what might be a low with goal to sell on the next move up. That next move might be quick and fierce (ULTA last week). It might be a move that takes 6 weeks. And it might be a move that doesn't resolve until late 2025. THe point is to get your money aligned in the bull markets.

As much as I despise Cramer, I have to pimp his saying here..

"There's always a bull market somewhere, my job is to help you find it"

If you buy at key lows with stop levels clearly defined from previous price action that limit your risk, you could lose 10 in a row. But if you hit 1-2 others, the wins should far outpace the limited losses. You will never ever get perfect at nailing bottoms or perfect buy spots. But if you learn to identify great low risk, high reward opportunities, you will win more than you lose. And when you do it enough, the wins will start to stack.

Sounds like "swing buying" is sort of like "day trading" in a sense but with the idea that you may not be selling the same day. It could very well be days, weeks or whenever. This is exactly what I wanted to learn and do on top of some Index stuff.

I think my biggest issue currently is trying to figure out all the jargon. I see a lot of information that I sense is great stuff but it's pure stock jargon and I get lost quickly.

I initially thought all day, or swing trading was nothing more than simply buying low, waiting for a sizeable spike and selling. I'm putting it together now that it's more than that. You can lose money even by holding as your individual stock purchases drop?

I've been doing lots of Google searches on This vs That, what does this mean, definitions, and so forth. I've read articles on Buffett, some things that have happened historically in the market, market reports on specific stocks. KVUE, TLSA, TSCO, and many more. Inside those reports have been really helpful but there's still more I need to learn there and fully understand

Ask all the questions you want, especially outside of trading hours, but also there are reading recommendations at the beginning of this thread, and there's actually a thread dedicated to swing trading, feel free to bump it with ideas/questions (or backtest...except everybody's a genius in a bull market so....) https://texags.com/forums/57/topics/3120252/1#discussion

I like the R/R. Like every play, it could certainly fail and get stopped. What's your opinion on the chart / company?
