daytrading july 4 morning, page-63

Probably off-topic

Getting my paperwork ready for my tax return, and keying all my purchases and sales into a spreadsheet to work out profits etc. Found I purchased PUN, MAT, OGX, CDG, ATU. They were all day trades only and I made some money on all expcet ATU. I'd forgotten I'd even traded them. Just looked at all their prices and PUN, OGX, CDG are down more than 60% from when I sold them. ATU is down around 40%. MAT around 20%. These were trades in the last 3 months. Just goes to show, never fall in love with a stock or story. Lucky, with the stock market I've got an icebox instead of a heart so I can walk away and say that was close.

All you newies to the game, becareful. If you buy a spec, have an exit strategy ready before you press the buy button. Also if you make money on it, take it off your watchlist so you are not tempted to jump back in when it nosedives 30% in a day.
