Kickmatic, are you talking about $250 total? if you are, go back and read what others have said about a low amount of money to invest, it has been saidnumerous times in this thread.

Honestly guys, the stock market isn't a get rich quick method or something most people canmake money in (unless they're super long term investors and even then last year proved it's not as simple as it seemed).
Only get into the stock market if you have money you wouldn't mind losing. EVERYONE loses in the beginning. You should also find this stuff interesting oryou won't want to do the work. I'm currently posting from my phone. I'm on the way home. I got out of class at 9:20, did homework and research fortomorrow until 1. I'm gonna go to sleep and be up by 6 to watch futures and prepare for the open. I'm usually asleep by 2 and up before 6. I put inHOURS on research and I still believe I'm NOWHERE close to being good at trading. If you aren't prepared to put in the time and energy into this, itisn't for you. I don't believe this is a part time job or something you can halfass. In other industries you can make money being bad at your job. Inthis one, if you're not making money you're losing it and there's no base salary to fall back on.
This applies to long term investors as well. You can't hide bad investment choices behind indefinite timelines.

well at the end of the day you are the one pulling the trigger. I can only guide you as to what I would personally do. Like I said earlier though, you canride this out and make your $ back or you can cut losses and put this into another company and HOLD (

Bravo! You are not alone my friend. I put in hours for this stuff and I feel like I have gone nowhere
I wanted to quote this just so everyone understands how to use the stock market. I have been telling this to my friends since day 1. They see my gains(becasue I tell them), and automatically want to jump in and think I am going to give them my picks. I already have enough on my plate with just trading withMY money, let alone a friend that thinks this stuff is automatic 100% of the time.
i digress, but as a warning to everyone before/during/after you play the stock market, PLEASE READ THOSE 2 LINES I BOLDED AND QUOTED!

yep. it's a roll of the dice sometimes, even with research. i remember when the markets were peaking around the end of 07, i held google to 700+ and thenit came crashing down and i lost thousands. or "experts" saying aapl would jump to $300. lulz.

lilchico,
thats what Im thinking too. I will shoot for around $15.85 although the MACD, Bollinger bands, and DMI confirm this stock is in an uptrend. I will wait and seewhere this one goes.
