ROKU a few years ago. Recommended by IBD. I found all of their advice to be absolutely worthless.

Did anyone here successfully participate in over subscribed high profile IPOs, what's your experience? As a retail investor do you even have a chance to get 5-10k USD (say with IBKR) if the IPO is hot or does one end up with just a few hundreds (since everything goes to HFs, and other institutional clients)? Thinking to participate at their IPO. I have account with solid European bank as a broker which covers all my needs except US IPOs, but I think even if their IBD participates, they won't route it to retail. Was thinking if it makes sense to open IBKR account but then again if IPO is over subscribed then will have to buy later on T or on T+1 and if it's not over subscribed then probably doesn't matter anyways buying on T+1 at 20-30% premium, which is not a big deal since I hold my positions for years anyways.

You have to decide what type of investor you want to be. Plenty of good ETF’s but if you want to start in stocks then take a look at IBD app for ideas & articles. William O’Niels books are a good place to start.

I'm so upset with myself for not pulling the trigger on DAVE. Was looking at calls for 120 right before earnings. Would have been 10x+. Those don't come often and I was right there. But I had an awful week and decided not to risk shooting myself in the foot again. I'll give props to IBD for putting this one on my radar. ROOT has similar behavior, as well as MRX.

I dunno what to think about it. Meta almost doubles its spending over last year. The IBD Composite Rating lists six crypto ventures as part of their 'Top 21' IPOs to invest in. And some investment houses are saying that a $300 Tesla is still viable. Did the grownups leave the room and their five year olds get control of their laptops?

> If it's all besides the point, then why did you post a link where that was the point? I literally said what the point of it was, it was to show that dollar cost averaging would lead to a total recovery of your funds, even if you were invested prior to the peak, before the market as a whole returned to pre-1929 levels. Unfortunately that website only shows S&P500 returns, but if you want to specifically look at the Dow Jones (which did take longer to recover), we can do the math there. There wasn't a quick way to do this, so I had to break it out in excel. |Year|Dow Jones|Lump|DCA| --:|--:|--:|--:| |1/1/1925|121.55|$100,000.00|$833.33| |1/1/1926|156.1|$128,424.52|$12,568.88| |1/1/1927|154.65|$127,231.59|$22,597.55| |1/1/1928|198.95|$163,677.50|$40,242.37| |1/1/1929|307.25|$252,776.64|$75,440.11| |1/1/1930|255.65|$210,324.97|$71,363.34| |1/1/1931|167.25|$137,597.70|$54,242.57| |1/1/1932|78.55|$64,623.61|$31,942.29| |1/1/1933|61.85|$50,884.41|$35,272.07| |1/1/1934|102.85|$84,615.38|$71,049.84| |1/1/1935|103.2|$84,903.33|$81,860.28| |1/1/1936|146.3|$120,361.99|$128,065.71| |1/1/1937|182.3|$149,979.43|$170,716.25| |1/1/1938|127.25|$104,689.43|$127,262.01| |1/1/1939|145.65|$119,827.23|$156,708.89| |1/1/1940|148.75|$122,377.62|$170,564.99| |1/1/1941|128.85|$106,005.76|$157,468.56| |1/1/1942|111.55|$91,772.93|$145,618.85| |1/1/1943|122.42|$100,715.75|$171,170.32| |1/1/1944|137.28|$112,941.18|$202,036.75| |1/1/1945|153.6|$126,367.75|$236,698.08| |1/1/1946|198.12|$162,994.65|$316,795.27| |1/1/1947|176.2|$144,960.92|$291,131.77| |1/1/1948|176.11|$144,886.88|$300,908.68| |1/1/1949|178.28|$146,672.15|$314,502.65| |1/1/1950|199.79|$164,368.57|$363,529.45| |1/1/1951|244.45|$201,110.65|$455,931.34| |1/1/1952|271.71|$223,537.64|$517,239.88| |1/1/1953|288.44|$237,301.52|$559,696.14| |1/1/1954|286.64|$235,820.65|$566,603.55| |1/1/1955|398.43|$327,791.03|$799,295.37| |1/1/1956|474.75|$390,580.01|$963,010.52| Here, the difference is actually even more clear. You'd have all of your initial investment back before you finished investing that first $100,000 (DCA'd across 10 years). And you'd have done it through the worst of the depression, catching the whole knife on the way down, with 40% of your initial investment already in before the market collapsed. And again, we're not comparing directly to lump sum investing (though here DCA beats that), it's just a comparable benchmark. By all means, you're welcome to take some technical analysis approach to investing if you like - I tend to think TA works until it doesn't. This strategy you linked also seems pretty IBD specific, not particularly common strategy on /r/investing. Again, that's just based on my experience here - this is the first time I've seen someone link to that strategy in the last 5 years I've been subscribed here. Maybe you could backtest that strategy specifically on the Great Depression and show how much better it does. But for my part, my investing strategy is going to continue to be investing a % of my paycheck every month consistently.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, IBD Stock Of The Day, Leads S&P 500 Out Of Correction https://www.investors.com/research/ibd-stock-of-the-day/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-brkb-leads-sp-500-correction/

BluesFlute

Money is not for play. I say this, not to be a PIA, but to emphasize that if money is important to you, getting one’s head straight about it is essential. Read a few books on stock investing and think about it awhile. Are you fundamental analysis or technical analysis oriented, or maybe both? Know that quality information is rarely free, except on Reddit. Ha! Get a subscription to IBD, or StockCharts or Barrons. Sample them in your public library. That said, market sell offs , “corrections” are common and pundits always have explanations afterwards. Buy now? Probably not. There’s more work to be done to the downside. There’s a lot of political stink in the air. Jaime Dimon is not smiling. Sell offs and subsequent recovery is not usually V shaped. It takes time. Money market account for now while you plan the next steps. FOMO is real. Investing emotionally is a good way to lose. In that case, consider going to a casino, it’s more fun.

I heard from IBD that total outflows outpacing inflows over several trading days usually flags a longer term bear market Hence me asking

No a recession is not guaranteed, nor is it even likely according to the top economists and investment advisors. I listen to Bloomberg, Reuters, and MSN daily ... also read a lot of IBD ... and no one is saying that.

Get ONVO while it’s cheap! While the exact milestone payments for Organovo’s FXR314 acquisition by Eli Lilly have not been disclosed, we can estimate a range based on industry norms for similar deals. Expected Milestone Payment Range 1. Upfront Payment • Typically, early-stage biotech deals (Phase 1/2) see upfront payments between $50M–$300M. • If FXR314 shows strong Phase 2 potential, the upfront payment could be $100M–$250M. 2. Regulatory Milestones (Phase 2b, Phase 3, FDA Approval) • Phase 2b completion: $50M–$150M • Phase 3 initiation: $100M–$250M • FDA approval: $200M–$500M 3. Commercial Milestones (Sales-Based Payments) • First commercial sale: $50M–$150M • Sales milestones (e.g., hitting $500M or $1B in revenue): $200M–$500M Total Potential Deal Value • If FXR314 progresses successfully, the total deal value (upfront + milestones) could be in the range of $500M–$2B, similar to other IBD drug acquisitions (e.g., Eli Lilly’s $3.2B Morphic deal). These numbers are estimates based on comparable deals, and the actual structure will depend on FXR314’s competitive positioning and future performance.

IRUL-UBLOW-7128

What is the William O Neil rule? According to IBD founder William O'Neil's rule in "How to Make Money in Stocks," **you should sell a stock when you are down 7% or 8% from your purchase price**, no exceptions. Having a rule in place ahead of time can help prevent an emotional decision to hang on too long. It should be: Sell now, ask questions later. Yes, there is more to it than that, BUT I have always followed his advice. YRMV.

I believe IBD gives a lot of option suggestions for free if you get the app. I'm not a believer that we need to look at over 1000 etf/stocks a week to fine the best one. Good luck.

id_never_eat_here

I was in the same boat. Read: *How to Make Money in Stocks* by William J. O'neil. Then use [investors.com](http://investors.com) to find and evaluate companies you are interested in. I started trading buying stocks and built up my account. Then learned options and futures, I did extremely well for about 6 months... Then I blew up my account. Continued to trade options and futures for another 2 years jumping from strategy to strategy. I would make a little progress, then take losses and be right back where I started. I have been applying what I learned from that book, and using IBD for research. I am back to buying shares and very rarely trade options. When I do use options I have a very different perspective. I have been taking more of a swing trade approach.

Is anyone subscribed to WSJ+? WSJ+ includes WSJ and IBD along with Barrons and Marketwatch. I’m looking to learn about individual stocks and investing and be more updated. I’m mainly interested in Barrons. WSJ+ is available at $1.75/week while Barrons + MW is at $1.25.

Our biggest mistake was relying on financial planners (we had three in succession as we moved around) when we could have been making our own investments in stocks. Once we learned the steps involved in sound growth investing our returns far, far, outpaced anything our advisors did. (They were always shocked at the returns I was getting on my part of the portfolio). And that wasn’t even considering the $20,000/year in their fees and charges for funds we had to pay. You can develop your own style and methods, but I used IBD, TMFool, and the Fidelity research analysts’ pages to learn. Easy and fun! Try it with a small segment of your savings snd then enlarge your amount as u gain confidence. Good luck!

thekinggrass

Tipping is definitely on traders minds. Nasdaq is extended but it just bounced off the 50 last week. Same with SP500. There’s been rotation into small caps and crypto stocks which are moving. I will say IBD did a “how to spot a top” podcast a couple weeks ago and that’s always telling. It’s on traders minds, I expect some profit taking and tax loss harvesting through the end of the year. When your favorite (real) traders start to call tops then it’s usually time to exit. That hasn’t happened left and there are a ton of bullish charts out there.

Yeah, i gave up on Motley Fool. I have toyed with Investor's Business Daily before. I may resubscribe to them, but curious if anyone here subscribes to IBD currently and their experience? I know it's more growth oriented while MF is more value focused.

Beginning-Cry7722

# WSJ+ Subscription for $1.75/week.. Worth it for a "newbie" to learn/invest?  I have been a "lazy investor". I read news and buy some big tech (Apple, AMZN..) type stocks and tech ETFs (tech because I understand tech) and let them grow when I have funds available. I usually search for a company stock, browse the latest happenings and decide on buying these stocks. Free news would be great. But I saw this offer for WSJ+ which includes WSJ, MarketWatch, Barrons and IBD. This is within my budget. I know I wont read all 4 every single day. Should i just pick one and subscribe? I want to understand these businesses more because I'm looking to invest more actively and with more knowledge. I'd like to understand what their primary investments and business strategies are. A lot of Barrons and Bloomberg is blocked by paywall. I liked some of the Bloomberg podcasts because they were so concise. But the site seems blocked by paywall. Should I consider any other resources? Finviz UI seems chaotic.

FivePoppedCollarCool

There's a lot of misinformation in this thread 1) All groups use any/all publicly available information 2) The Equity Research (ER) group does independent research using publicly available information, talking to their contacts in industry, talking to the companies, etc. to write research reports and make recommendations. They are allowed to talk to Sales & Trading (S&T) as well to see what their thoughts are. However, ER does not make decisions based on what S&T is trying to do or what they're holding in their book. ER wants to make decisions based on real research and what they think the market will do in order to make a name for themselves. They consider themselves entrepreneurs who are creating a brand. Take Jeff Currie from Goldman as an example. Jeff's research was great and his thoughts were intellectually stimulating. So if Goldman trading was long Exxon and Jeff thinks oil is going to $2, he's not going to ruin his reputation by selling the traders book. 3) In the U.S., ER gets paid when investment managers do trades through the S&T team. So a hedge fund will get a research report, call the analyst for clarification or to just chat about the industry. When they put in an order to buy/sell the stock the analyst covers, the trader gets the flow and the ER analyst gets the credit and everything is good. Europe is different - I think you have to pay for the research directly now? I don't know, I left the industry before MiFID II. 4) Investment Banking (IBD) is the group I was in. They deal with non-public information and they don't interact with ER or S&T until there's an IPO or something where you need to bring the ER team and/or S&T team over the wall. We basically just didn't speak to anyone else unless compliance specifically told us to do so and even then we had compliance on all calls/emails/etc. between us and the other groups. Throughout your day-to-day, compliance is watching all emails, all calls, messages, etc. They take this shit very seriously. The "Chinese wall" is very very real and no one fucks with it. Theoretically speaking with what is considered legal or not, ER should NOT tell anyone what their research report will say, if they're upgrading/downgrading/etc. Because that is material non-public information. So in this NVDA and BAML case, S&T and IBD had no idea what ER was going to do. However, if you really want to toe the line opf legal, other than the contents of an upcoming research report, ER/S&T can tell the IBD guys anything they want because the information they have should be public. However, since it's hard to make sure the information flow is only one way, and to avoid slips, banks simply have a blanket "no communication between IBD & ER/S&T" rule Hope this helps. Happy to answer more questions

Rav_3d

I agree, blindly buying the IBD 50 is not a good strategy. I do find their stock ratings useful as part of my analysis for picking stocks. I especially use the RS rating during corrections and pullbacks to identify stocks holding up better than most.

chappyandmaya

I find IBD next to useless myself. They offer an ETF flavored to their Nifty Fifty picks and it’s hot garbage. Hopefully you have better luck!

apiercex1

Investors Business Daily is a company/database created by William O'Neil to provide individual investors with information so they can do their own analyses in one place and so they can make their own decisions without relying on others. Highly highly recommend reading How to Make Money in Stocks by O'Neil and Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets by Weinstein. Take what you learn from these 2 books together, and use the information from IBD, and I'm confident people won't need to rely on others for stock investments. They will answer your questions on when to buy, hold, sell. If you read them you won't need this sub and will be ahead of 95% of other people IMO. Note: you can get some info for free but the paid subscription is worth it imo. Especially if you do your homework. Read those 2 books first as your homework, starting with O'Neil. Then consider the IBD subscription. This changed me for the better. Hope this helps.

Onedown-6togo

It just got extended from its $19.80 buy point. As an IBD stock, I’d hold on for now. What was your buy in price?

bmeisler

Srsly, the IBD method is to pick 10 stocks or so, based on their recommendations and your own research, and sell when you’re either up 20% or down 6-8% (more like 40-50% and 15-20% with options). Works well in a bull market! As long as you don’t get hit by the once rare now seemingly commonplace overnight 20% drops.

Mariposaland

Momentum, new highs, daily volume, using IBD relative strength model, plus CAN SLIM. I used to have all the documentation but I am entirely in real estate. Google it.

NYIslanders22

IBD is a good resource for info on stocks / companies. No I don’t work for them but I subscribe.

investinreddit-

You're brave and I'm glad you are confident. I don't buy the dips but understand the growth can be there.. The reality is the companies.that have 10x have jumped.up.100% before they jump more (FAANG) so I don't feel worried buying when some.stocks are at highs or have great price action and relative strength. But then again I use the William.O.Neil CAN model.or.whatever it's called. Investor Business daily is the closest thing to it with marketsurge but be careful with the IBD leaderboard because you might buy in too late exactly your point. Best wishes and best of heath to you my brother.

FFTY - Innovator IBD 50 ETF

asfg812

They are now profitable (qtr 2) and have increasing scrips. IBD (Investors Business Daily) chose it as their stock of the day Friday ( 8/16), and ranking it in their IBD 50 which gets it bought by their ETFs. Major buying from large institutions with high volume, and 30% short interest with 14 days to cover. CEOs long-term focus has been on fair value buyout at more than $ 60+. Market niche is projected to $20 B. TG is grabbing market share focusing on Academic Medical Centers and major prescribers. Various advantages over Ocrevus, recent contract with Veterans Administration, high acceptance with MS Knowledge and Opinion Leaders. It's been developing for a long time, but is hitting its stride. Either expecting buyout after it gets to $40+, or riding the profits and growth independently. CEO Mike Weiss won't let it go cheap. He recently announced a stock buyback up to $100 million to force the shorts out.

IBD suggested selling when you're down 8% to avoid catastrophic losses. I've abided by that for 40 years and adhering to that rule has not failed me. Remember to not cultivate your weeds while picking your flowers.

greytoc

>... read the daily paper. Usually WSJ or more recently IBD. That comment gave me a smile - I appreciate that you actually remember that IBD used to be a daily print paper. And that you still consider it recent.

CryptosianTraveler

Yes and no. For instance poorly worded news/updates can inspire panic selling. It used to be where the markets would close, and then people could go home and either watch the news or read the daily paper. Usually WSJ or more recently IBD. The market being down for the night gave people time to take in and process any news. We'll never know how much trading occurs on impulse today. Because people usually won't freely admit things like that. Not even in an anonymous survey. Me personally? I'd rather go back to the way it used to be. Waking up to find out the market sh\*\* the bed because Tokyo went nuts is more stress than anyone needs. But enough time to think about it over coffee might produce a more measured, level-headed reaction to it when the bell rings at 9:30. Things are just too fast and constant these days. It's not healthy. As someone that DJs on the side to get the hell out of the house on the weekends I can tell you I see it often. People are so impatient these days. Everything plays better with the crowd at higher pitch/speed, and they want you to mix in and out after only 2 minutes or so. It's kinda sad when you think about it. That was a whole lot of the "no" side of it. BUT, 24 hour trading does help level the field. Because the big players have been doing it for decades. It was a lot harder to do years ago, but with resources the average person then couldn't afford to obtain they did it. The whole damn world needs to learn how to relax again. Because big money only buys one thing in the end. A really nice casket.

Floridaavacado74

Thank you for the very helpful responses. Where does everyone get their weekly or monthly stock or wtf selection ? IBD newsletter? How do you choose which selection of stocks/etfs to trade/buy options ?

illcrx

I essentially have been able to wait for my setups. The market only runs in uptrends about 30% of the time so I wait for those times and buy calls that have maximum expected return for a breakout. Use 45-50 day options and strikes vary depending on the expected return. Usually slightly OTM or sometimes in or way out! It varies based on recent price action. Some of my targets have options profit percentage of hundreds of percent. I just stalk and wait for a real breakout. I actually am in and out a lot and sometimes the market does a good job of shaking me out but if the setup is good I will get back in. I often will get in late just to be sure it’s going to move and the percentage gains on the setups are so good that it still pays. I also get out super fast if it’s not working out. My last big run was successful due to this. My recent mistake. Timing SOXL bottom. It didn’t look good after I bought so I exited. Lost about 3-4% on that position. My position sizing is large for most and gets bigger. 20% of the account for a normal trade. With my big trades it’s 50% of the account and I’m usually pissed I didn’t go all in. You have to want to win big to do it. It doesn’t happen by accident. It’s scary and intimidating, but I have been working on this strategy for a very long time. There are a lot of moving parts but it’s about always knowing what the leading stocks are doing, understanding the general trend and, if you can, understanding what the market wants to see. In other words if the market has been range bound, what news are they waiting for? If none then just look for the leaders to move. If it’s a FED meeting coming up then you look for setups in huge leading stocks, the very best stocks. Then plan and execute the trade. The beginning of this year was a prime example, NVDA, king of AI, the largest trend since TSLA. It was setup to breakout over 50. The market was waiting for the new year and it worked perfectly. It doesn’t always. I am hoping the presidential election will work out in a similar way, we may chop around until then and this selloff may just be what we need to pause until then. I think about the market too much. It obsesses me, I think about what the institutions want and what retail traders want and what the fed wants and if they all coincide. The market is all psychology, which is why you can’t make a math equation about it. I follow IBD CANSLIM methodology. Some of the best do.

IBD posts an hour long video on YouTube every Friday. Gives a decent market overview, sector analysis, and a few stocks worth looking at. It is not option specific. There is zero mention of option strategies. That said having a decent handle on the market and sectors increases the odds of profit. If a person is mostly trading on gut, and Reddit mentions, the information opens a new door. Of course nothing is guaranteed. However watching calm and reasonable market analysis by veteran market observers can be useful.

Yeah, I only started with 100 shares @$20, but I’m gonna keep adding to my position. I think this one’s got legs. It’s also # 1 on IBD’s list of top stocks right now. https://preview.redd.it/7gi7dsle7ded1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eaf9843b404a68f599305693a7f8e738a5a1c810

IBD is indeed a waste of time and money!  The top stocks on their watch list are all sticks that have left the barn, made their gains and are on their final leg up and just before rolling over to head south in price.  The recommendation to wait until confirmation is nonsense.  Following that rule is missing the boat.  If you do wait for confirmation, but after confirmation the sticks roll over losing 7% triggering their rule of sell after a 7% loss.  So, by following the IBD suggested method of buying and selling stocks will just chip away at your account 7% at a time.....time and time again! Their leader board of sticks turn over faster than a $2 whore when the fleet is in!  A stick gets added to watch, the less that 24 hours later it is removed because it has dropped in price.   This occurs three to four times daily with different stocks.  In other words, one could do better at picking stocks simply by by listening to Jim Crammer.....and he is a crook!! So, don't for 1 second follow IBDs recommendations or waste your money subscribing to IBD unless you want to chip away at your account 7% every few days.

That’s the #1 stock on the IBD 50 this week. Only down 7.4% today, no biggie. /s

Depends on what kind of investor you are but I have learned that it is not uncommon for many stocks to drop large % at different times so you need to have a disciplined strategy. IBD suggests cutting loss at 8% for initial purchases. For long term holds it is more of a personal decision & taxes need to be considered. A very common approach is to sell part when 50 day MA is broken & sell more when 200 day is broken. The main thing is to have a strategy.

You know that guy who got rich without using technicals? The guy who won Powerball. 🤣 Peter Lynch, William Oneal. Watch IBD podcasts, the technical system incorporated avd founded by William Oneal. They freaking make bank using market surge. Technicals confirm money is following news and financials. Stop being bully aggressive know it all. Dude. 👌

I think there are very, very, very few worthwhile active managers. Rajiv Jain's funds are good and he has a fairly flexible mandate - the fund largely sold tech in 2021, did much better than most in 2022 by moving to energy in 2022, then rebuilt tech positions in early 2023 and is up 28% YTD. GQG US Select Quality/GQG Global Select Quality. Transcript of a longer interview with Jain (pdf) https://www.goldmansachs.com/intelligence/podcasts/episodes/06-20-23-jain-gorton-f/transcript.pdf Out of several thousand funds, there's maybe a handful of worthwhile managers. T Rowe Price All Cap Opportunities is another somewhat flexible fund that is largely growth-oriented but can dial up value if it feels need to. "IBD: What's the fund's investment strategy? White: The T. Rowe Price All-Cap Opportunities Fund is very flexible. It can invest across the market-cap range, as well as invest in value stocks, core stocks, and growth stocks. And that flexibility is a big asset. IBD: How so? White: The way we describe it to clients is if I do my job well, you can own this fund and trust me to pivot around the market as the world changes. I don't have to be beholden to growth stocks like a pure growth fund would. Last year, for example, I would have been down a lot more (the fund declined 21.3% vs. a 29.9% dive for peers, according to Morningstar), if I wouldn't have been able to dodge (the downside) as well as I did. That's because we pivoted from growth more towards the middle of the market starting in late 2021."

I'm a picky eater and have IBD, so when I go to Chipotle I usually just get rice and chicken. 10/10 when I go and say "all I'm getting is rice and chicken", they either give me a MASSIVE burrito or they only charge me for a side of meat. When I ordered online once I got what equated to a child size burrito for like $10. It was the smallest scoop of rice and chicken. I think when I'm in line next to people with MASSIVE meals that are paying the same, it guilts the employee to making us both feel better about what I'm about to pay for lol. It's the price I pay to eat out and be social but I get it. Just weird everyone else has the same experience.

# IBD - GM's EV Sales Surge 40% As Tesla Stumbles.  

retroalohashirt

Yes. I’m saying anybody can be smart enough to cut losses when they reach a predetermined level, 5%, 6%, 8%, whatever he’s comfortable with. Just don’t be stupid and watch losses mount. I went flat in the summer of 2000 and stayed in cash until the day that the US went into Iraq in 2003, which was the first day of a strong, multi year rally, went back to cash the summer of 2008, bought back in March 2009, and I’m just a regular guy that subscribed to IBD since 1995. Pay for a subscription to IBD to understand if the markets are above the 200 day (be long SPY or VOO) or below the 200 day (be in cash), the sectors to invest in and to avoid. Either learn how markets work, which is no great mystery, or good luck finding a financial advisor that cares about your account more than you.

The difference of your opinion and others is the formula for one making money and one loosing. Good thoughts, but this week TSLA is up almost 9%, and 8 out of my 10 'daily' indicators are somewhat bullish, and several analysts give it a $235 value, and others $180. IBD has a middle position of thought, allow me to share it. Happy trading.

I’ve been burned too many times buying early stage pharma stocks. I actually prefer HIMS when it’s got upwards momentum - it took me a long time to come around to the IBD way of investing, because it’s counterintuitive - but I like HIMS more at 22 on its way up than when it was bottoming out at 12. Buy stocks when they’re breaking out instead of trying to pick bottoms. Old saying: “Man who picks bottoms ends up with smelly finger.”

I looked at Market Smith in the past and it was a bit of a short term hold method. I really like the IBD too 50 list as it works well. I also use Seeking Alpha and Barchart as backups to get their opinion prior to buying and selling. I agree IBD is very expensive. I didn't really have luck with Gorilla Trades, but only tried for 3 months.

I start by listening to multiple podcasts a day, take stock picks with a grain of salt but CNBC Halftime Report and Fast Money. After awhile you'll at least get a general feel how the major actors are thinking. Then I read Barrons and IBD and I watch a shit ton of YouTube channels. Actually, check out finfluentia on YT. He breaks the market down every day and he's incredibly knowledgeable.

WIlliam F Oneil- IBD founder and one of the greatest of all time

sheehyct

This is a quote on a random stock website that I can't recall but was impressed with the site for putting out good info like this. Basics, personal rules/strategy that works for YOU, and very importantly knowledge on your investment. Keep telling yourself the word investment. If you feel like your going to miss out, well it's not an investment it's an emotional gamble to win big. Anyways, I'm not perfect by any means but here are things I try to follow as FOMO can be very real. 1 - Everyone makes mistakes. Just be sure to cut all losses short. Even the best investors get hit with a loss from time to time. But they don't indulge in worry as the stock drops even further. They cut their losses quickly and move on. Leave your ego and pride at the door. Don't let a loss get to you — either mentally or financially. 2 - If you don't sell too early, you'll sell too late. To lock in solid gains, sell while your stock is still going up. As IBD founder William J. O'Neil has said, "Your objective is to make and take significant gains and not get excited, optimistic, greedy, or emotionally carried away as your stock's advance gets stronger." Following the 20%-25% sell rule can help you do that. In a bull market, leading growth stocks like Nvidia and Meta can, of course, run longer than expected. But locking in some profits along the way allows investors to safeguard a portion of those gains. It also reduces the risk of giving back too much in an extended pullback. 3 - Have a selling plan in place before you buy. The real drama kicks in when it comes time to sell. If you don't have sell rules and an exit plan, it's easy to freeze and not take action when needed. If your stock is soaring, you might get greedy and ignore certain sell signals and warning signs. Also, if you're sitting on a loss, you may do the "hold and hope" routine. You pray it bounces back — while it continues to drop. Stay grounded and keep your emotions at bay by having a selling plan in place ahead of time. Write down your target sell prices for both taking profits and cutting losses. 4 - Don't let a decent gain turn into a loss. If you have a nice gain of, say, 10%, 15% or more and the stock begins to decline, don't let that profit disappear completely. It's much less frustrating to see a 15%-20% gain turn into a 5%-10% profit than to see it turn into a 10% loss. You can always buy the stock back if it shows renewed strength and forms a proper buy point. 5 - Don't marry your stocks. Just date them! "For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer" is a noble and time-honored approach to marital fealty, but it's a bad idea when it comes to investing in stocks. In most cases, it's better to take a good gain while you have it. And never hesitate to separate and protect yourself from a bad relationship if there are clear signs of trouble. 6 - Sell your losing stocks first. When building a winning basketball team, you wouldn't trade away all your top players for a bunch of benchwarmers. Yet many investors do just that. They sell stocks in which they have a good gain and hold those showing a loss. Further, they think a big gain is just around the corner. That's usually just wishful thinking. Do the opposite. Sell your losers and use that money — provided the market trend is favorable — to add winners to your roster or invest more money in the top performers you already own. 7 - When buying a stock, focus on both the fundamentals and the stock chart. When selling, focus on the chart. They say the view is great at the top, and that often applies to stocks as well. The warning signs typically show up in the stock chart — i.e., technical analysis — before they appear in the company's fundamentals. It's crucial to use both technical and fundamental analysis when buying stocks. The same is true on deciding when to sell stocks. Focus on the chart and technical analysis, like price and volume action and behavior around key moving averages. 8 - The most important sell rule is to buy at the right time.     (Personally I believe this is debatable based off various studies and your investment style/goals, but never bad advice) A very common mistake, particularly for beginning investors, is buying at the wrong time. Some will not pay attention to market timing and buy during a market correction when most stocks go down. Or they'll ignore the technical action in the stock chart and either buy too soon or too late. So before buying a stock, make sure three key factors — market trend, big earnings driven by something new, and institutional support — are in place. Doing so helps get you in at the right time, with the odds of success squarely in your favor.

I expect to sell the short leg anywhere from a few weeks to 30 days, so this would make it easy to avoid having a short option open over an ER. Opening both puts and calls trades would help to profit regardless of which way the stock moved after the ER. Yes, I have looked at the usual websites but none seem to have a list of those stickers that move the most after ERs. I even tried AI which did give me a short list of 5 with NVDA being at the top and a Chinese trucking company as another, so this is a start but not as helpful. Yahoo has a list of the most recent earnings beats, so this is also another possible sources. I do see IBD has a paid stock screener, so I may try that if I cannot find anything else. Thank you for your help.

Oh man, it's a long story. I'm going to copy paste an email I sent: I'm emailing to express my concern about Gigacloud Technology, ticker GCT. I see that they make the IBD list quite frequently, and at face value, for very good reason. Their balance sheet and income statements look impeccable. However, there are some huge red flags with this company. In the month of May alone, there have been 22 separate occasions of insider selling by the CEO and board. That is just this month! The sales have been significant as well, one sale was over 7 million dollars worth of stock. They are formerly a company based in China, that is headquartered in the Cayman Islands, a known haven for shady accounting and money laundering. Add to that, they were late filing their 10-k, and when they did, the independent auditor they chose was KPMG, a Hong Kong based auditor that has been implicated in misrepresenting financial information for other companies. They are also currently involved in a class action lawsuit with the Portnoy Law Firm for misrepresentation of their product. Litigation is ongoing. Aside from the under the hood stuff, the stock itself has been prone to bizarre actions, including a day in early spring where the price dropped 22% inexplicably. It recovered, but since then, the price swings wildly around implying that some form of manipulation may be taking place. Multiple firms have written investigative pieces on them, and point to the fact that alot of the claims made by GCT, simply do not add up. I'll admit that these firms likely have a large short position on the company, but the things they've pointed to still stand as concerns, and haven't been properly addressed by GigaCloud. I will attach links to all this. ---- They have a balance sheet that is too good to be true, claiming to deliver numbers that rival Amazon. A quick search reveals that their host website has traffic of about 50 visitors a month. The CEO has sold about 30% of his stock off in the last four weeks alone. They are currently being sued. There's all these other red flags, outlined in these two short reports as well: [Here's one](https://grizzlyreports.com/gigacloud-technology-inc-another-china-hustle-inflating-key-metrics-using-undisclosed-related-party-shell-companies/)

Have been investing for 40 years, retired early. Take a history lesson & look at DOW, S&P 500, NASDQ charts for as long as they have existed. The scary times are small blips on overall chart. Start early, max out your 401K, save at least 10 to 15% every year in index funds & increase when you get raises. Take automatic savings post tax also to reach 15% & have an emergency fund so if you need to look for a job you have time to find the right opportunity. Doing this will help you sleep at night & you will never have to stay with an employer who doesn’t treat you right. If you have an interest in individual stocks start with 10% of your portfolio. Realize some high flyers will tank so sell half if it drops below 50 day MA & the rest if 50 drops below 200 day MA. Read IBD if you want to keep learning about how to out perform. You can beat the market but it takes a lot of time & effort.

I was just reading this week’s IBD; NVDA is #2 in the IBD 50, with a buy point given as $974. I had a very nice day trade with NVDA in Friday - it was a 5/10 spread trade that I was expecting to hold at least through next week, but I was up just short of 100% in about three hours and decided to just cash out then and there.. I’m definitely looking to get back in; trying to decide if I want to do another short term trade or to buy an option that would carry through ER. I’m leaning towards the latter now.

I took some juicy profits when the bulls were raging back in late nov early dec. then in early march I watched as 12 of my handpicked stocks \[i got about 30 total in my portfolio\] began to slide. it was small at first. but i watched as march progressed and they began to slide even more. finally, their price fell 8% below what i paid for them. and I sold all of them. because I subscribe to the philosophy of and follow the tenets of William O Neil . founder of IBD and one of the greatest of all time. and he states; 8-10% drop from purchase price=SELL- and ask questions later. well, today, I looked up the 12 stocks and ELEVEN have continued to tank. had i held id be down 15-25% on each. the last one would have resulted in an anemic 4% gain. I preserved my capital. the number one rule of investing. i cant tell u how good this made me feel today. Happy friday
