1996 my man had the right idea getting rid of snap. Anyone thinks SNAP drops to 15ish and hovers around there until some major announcement or tech or whatever it is they do?

We're about 3 months away from the end of the first NT Stock Game.
The second game will most likely be the same format but with a lower capital base ($300k --> $200k).

Can we do 50k so that it's more relatable and relevant to the majority of us?

I dont know how many people in here are in the real market, but i just got my first real *** whooping in this messed up market.... bought about a grand worth of shares of CERU last thursday....friday it climbed up 60 Percent... ended up traveling out of town to Vegas so i couldnt collect my profits in time.... wake up monday morning and find out that the stock went from 3.40 after market on friday to 1.20 pre market on monday :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x
EDIT: upon further research, i discovered that the ovarian cancer drug that i originally invested in got sold and now they are starting a birthcontrol experiment

No mobile app to execute a sell order?
Did you have a profit target?

What made you want to trade CERU? Did you set a stop order? If not, make sure you have that in place for any short term trades if you can't jump on it at a moments notice.
Second, **** penny stocks.

From my understanding, a stop most likely wouldn't get triggered in pre and post market hours. I could be wrong though

Yea i had a mobile app (Robinhood) , but by the time i landed in vegas, markets were closed and i was up nicely so i put a stop loss of 3.00 in incase it took a monday morning dip.... what i didnt expect was it dropping a whole 2 dollars at 6 am.....ive never seen anything like that before..a rack gone in about 10 seconds when i looked at the charts
and yea, i think the stop quotes are only during regular market hours...so if thats the case, how can you protect your investment from crashing after hours or before hours?

honestly, i wanted to trade it because from what i been reading up on, it looked like it was about to jump about a dollar, so i was thinking on making a grand...but it went even higher so i left it, thinking that it cant fall that bad on a monday morning....oh boy was i wrong...i almost sold everything else i had and wanted to pull whatever i had left out of the market..

Always sell half and put a stop above break even if you exceed your profit expectations and want to let it run for more

And if it's a real company with legitimate long term outlook, like Apple, nvda a couple of years ago, etc. raise your stop and buy the dips.

Wish I'd had funds in my account I'd grab a few snap calls on a lotto for July. Chart looks decent for a turn around.
CERU well that's up to you and your plan. Do you have a plan? If not you should reflect internally and figure out your own process.
My opinion, idk maybe sell half and put a stop at those recent lows? I really can't give you advice I know nothing about this company and wouldn't ever trade this kind of a stock.

Make sure you are trading with a process and a plan. If you don't have one stop trading.

For me as of late, I have been investing in REITs with solid financials and at least a decent dividend rate.
I love getting that dividend money

Made 40% profit on a stock, thought it would be done making a run so I sold it yesterday. Today it went up another 20%. I could've doubled my profits had I waited, but that's the game.
Hurts kind of like losing money

The purpose of trading is to book profits. Do not greedy or you will be burned eventually see what happened to CERU
