Don't be too greedy. Bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered.
I've seen bears get slaughtered to the tune of -$130K on shorts that didn't fall.

The stock market is for two people sucker's or insiders... And if you're not one, you're the other.
I have no idea what you are talking about but I guess I need to learn...Alright so since y'all are graciously allowing me to deviate off topic and talk stocks and 401K, etc...Who all has a TSP account? I know we have some guys in here other than myself.
Do yourself a favor and go to fedsmith.com and sign up for The Daily Wrap-Up, they'll email you a chart every night around 7:30 and show you the daily performance for each of the funds. This is what I use to dictate what funds I move into and out of, typically I'm running 100 percent C or S, or a 50/50 split in both.
Get out while the gettin's good!The IPO was in July, the price held steady until yesterday due to a successful first stage completion of a trial. I expected the next bump to occur when the 2nd stage ends, but damn if it didn't shoot up another $30 today.
That's the point of the old Wall Street saying. They stopped being bears & became pigs. I know I'm broke now, but made a lot of money in the market when we had funds to invest. That money is actually the reason we didn't lose the house & are still living in a nice neighborhood, even as both of us having catastrophic health issues & we struggle to pay off debts. The key lesson I learned is knowing when to take profits or, if shorting, when to admit you're wrong about the company. I know I left money on the table by selling "too early" I'd rather do that than ride a stock up & then all the way down. I also wholeheartedly agree with @Augustatrader . a company that matches 401K contributions is giving you a back door raise. Take it. We were self-employed so didn't get that. However, I'm old & broke now, so this is just my:I've seen bears get slaughtered to the tune of -$130K on shorts that didn't fall.

Not a master! But have done a lot. I'm a fundamentals guy, not a chart reader, though. Happy to talk with you. We can set up a separate thread if you want so we don't annoy these guys.So YOU are the Wall Street Master! I KNEW I'd flush somebody out of hiding!
A lot more than me, I'm sure.My practice area was securities for a while, but what do I know lol
Don't be so sure lolA lot more than me, I'm sure.

Back wh we n Gunbroker was smaller I bought and sold a lot of stuff from people all over the place. I always paid with USPS money orders so I could turn the postal inspectors loose on them if they flaked.Seems like he’s going out of his way to try and come up with some Type validation/confirmation. I typically hope the best in people and let them take it on the soul if they’re a thieving, lying, dirt bag. Of course I won’t deal with them again and pursue any legal course of action I may have, but I roll those dice. I don’t know if I’ve ever been burned on a gun deal like that? Except Atlantic, Omega, and a broken UMP9 lol and even that worked itself out eventually
I like those handguards...
