The most money I made and kept in one day was a day trade on GMGC. It was at 6 two years ago and called and news looked good so I put a little univested $2,500 in and for some reason also called in a sell at 8 3/4. Even with the killer commissions calling in Schwab in those days, I cleared $850 by noon. Now, that was bad.
That took me out of being happy with $850 in several months to wanting $850 every morning. What I did for the next 10 trades has been wild and greedy, and am almost at back at go, where I started.
I was doubling once a year, now I'm losing 50% for 18 months on chicken caca.
So, it was good and it was bad.
Oh, but I'm SO much smarter now, and can actually do a little DD on my own. Not much, but Schwab now has a private software connection which is what the pros use. So, am going to try to get a little smarter, if possible. |
