I bought apple today. They will have a four for one split at the end of the month. People will buy it because it iwill be seen as cheap at $100+ after split. Plus it is a great long term hold. .

RCG adds another 700 million in debt.

Looks like they are planning for an extended shutdown.

I go back and forth on using market orders vs. limit orders.

 

My experience has led me to the belief that market orders eliminate the uncertainty and reduce stress when the stock moves in the opposite direction of what I want.

I have been using a trailing stop order for several years, So far it has worked out great. At CS you can do a $1 trailing stop loss GTC for 60 days. .

That could be a good way to go.  I was responding to those who placed sell limit orders above the existing price.  The danger there is that the stock might never reach that price.

 

I think the trailing stock order or market order are the ways to go.

I've only owned one stock in my life. And it's just for fun, so it doesn't matter one way or the other. But thanks for the advice

We purchased 100 shares at $16 back in 2009.  It went down to $5 and wife said to buy more, but what does she know?  😵  We certainly got our money's worth over the years even before the restriction of combining perks.  Now that they lifted the combining restriction, I just continue to reap all the benefits.  I'm keeping it, and it works for me.

 

Now would I buy at $55-$60 a share, I don't think so.   🍷

Bought mine back at $40 in March, at one time I had the potential for $2300 in OBC on the books. That windfall drops every day it seems.😪

Stock splits aren't what they used to be.  Back in the day, you needed to buy a "round lot" of a stock (100 shares).  Using the above Apple $400 per share example, you'd need $400 X 100 = $40,000 to buy AAPL.  After a 4-for-1 split, the min buy in value would be reduced to $10,000, meaning that it's more affordable for the individual investor.  That would often also give the psychological advantage of making the stock seem cheaper and therefore a better investment.

 

Now, you can buy partial shares with little commissions or other fees.  You can buy $1,000 worth worth of AAPL whether it's at $400 or $100 (although you're still better off spreading per trade fees across more shares).  The psychological part has actually gone the other way, according to my finance guy.  Especially for tech stocks, being more expensive is viewed as being a more successful company and a better buy.  Apple may be the exception though as they have more loyal followers than most tech companies and a higher or lower share price probably won't change what people think about their valuation.

They actually announced it 2 days ago and stock subsequently rose $250/sh.  Pure momentum play.

I sold out at $125, went short at $100 and have been persistently bearish all summer.  Covered this week around $60 and went long.  Wanted to get in before results of therapeutic trials by Lilly and Regeneron are announced next month.  If either treatment demonstrates ability to significantly reduce covid's severity, taking death and ventilators off the table, it will be a big deal.  Also believe the Abbott 15 minute test is very positive.  Effective testing and treatment form two legs of the needed three legged stool.  Hopefully the third, a vaccine, won't be far behind.
