Your call. If you would have bought some weekly calls this morning on the dip or even yesterday you would be rich today

SLV is one to keep an eye on everyday. I have the Kitco application downloaded on my Iphone 4 so I follow it all the time.

SLV I saw hit $47.07 thirty seconds after I sold at $46.90. I'm happy with only a $100 loss, it was $3200 this morning. That was scary but I learned a valuable lesson of volatility, and market limit orders. Damn. That was intense. I was just refreshing fidelity for half an hour straight before I sold. I'll probably buy some June CSCO calls. Good idea?

Well with your luck, I might have to buy June CSCO puts.

You can always put in a sell position using a limit order for the day as well and not have to sit and watch it. Eg. You could have done a sell limit order for $47.00 and the second it hit that it would trigger the sale for you. I know fidelity has this option as I'm using them right now as well. You should avoid market orders as much as possible.

I do have a trailing stop loss order on most of my securities so that once they drop to a certain percentage, it'll trigger a sale - at market price. That can be a pretty big loss, but the trailing stop loss is there just for that, to minimize the effects of a mass sell off or market meltdown in which case you're probably better off selling at market than continuing to hold onto something that is plummeting like crazy.

None. After a 18% jump in REDF you'd do that? I'd expect it to fall.

I think ive learned a valuable lesson and didn't really get hurt in it. I mean technically I did the right thing except I made it a market order, which I'll never do again. But hey, I've made a whole lot more than I have lost.

It seems to be going into an upward trend after a steep decrease but I might not go into it today or tomorrow after a 10% jump.

VenomBMW · 04-27-2011, 04:54 PM

SLV is so bipolar/volatile that a put doesn't seem like too bad an idea. However it did hit $47.07 at one point....

AngelinIsRich08 · 04-27-2011, 04:59 PM

Dang this thread has grown since I last visited it. Venom is very lucky that he didn't sell yesterday or something when it was at super lows; but I do think he learned something, hopefully. Man, I'm still on the SIRI bandwagon and once it breaks $2 it'll go to $2.10 within two weeks. Some calls are already in progress for me and SIRI. Stronger car sales are definitely contributing to SIRI XM's growth. How are Greeks's GOOG shares doing? I'll probably go into it because it's relatively cheap now.

still hanging on to them. So far -2100.
However, Im considering selling. I made 3K from yesterday to today with nflx so I made up for that loss.
Plus, i bought appl when it was at 200 years ago and have made 1+ million with them.

E92TTKING · 04-27-2011, 05:13 PM

any other comments on ZSTN?
I really like. Will call my bro and inform him

A million? Why're you driving a 335i then?

I'd be Greek560-LP.

lol priority was to buy a house at the time.

I believe properties come first then boats, then cars

my friend invested all his money with apple from the beginning. Put 2 million when it was 1 dollar a share. He has everything from property, boats, lambos lol. I joined the party too late
