Learning about the stock market

After a day like today, if you are not looking to sell it all - you have already learned a valuable lesson.

I have been watching and having a ball the last 1 to 2 years weekly and sometimes daily. This is when I stop looking and just pretend like nothing is happening....I am still buying weekly.....

I took my profits a week ago today, now to find the right places to get back in.

For individual securities today is why "stop loss orders" with GTC orders are paramount to short term trading (for fun and profit)...

Look before you leap...I think we could see a big bounce then even a bigger dive before things level out...

use staged limit orders to take quick profits and avoid holding a bag...
Good luck to all

SPXU.....for the day when rare air no longer supports the market. And it's coming.

Under 10 bucks when I wrote the above....closed at 11.59 yesterday. If the S&P does a 20% downward correction...not too unlikely given the metrics of the rise....SPXU will turn a 60% increase.
