looks like it is breaking out but the volume isnt great. earnings are tomorrow before the open. i bought in at 8.42 hopefully the earnings will be good

Chart looks nice. You're a gambler going into earnings like that, good luck!

[legion3pm]

yeah that was a HUGE mistake on my part. i liked the chart and bought in on the stock before actually seeing that the earnings were coming out tomorrow. left for awhile and when i got back it was too late to sell b/c the market was closed. yes this is a big gamble and i never have any luck when it comes to gambling.

You can't sell AH? Who's your broker?

[legion3pm]

i got it set to sell AH at 8.52 but no one is buying. the bid AH is 7.52 last time i looked

[legion3pm]

Gl tomorrow on the trade. Earnings aren't always the key here legion because as you have followed and hope you picked up on, companies can have great earnings and the stock tumbles, the KEY IS THE GUIDANCE, great earnings and shitty outlook and the stock tumbles. You mentioned you didn't realize the earnings were tomorrow, we all make mistakes as of entry points ect, reasons for buying but possibly forgot to look at something important, its all a learning experience, but one thing you always want to look at is when earnings are coming out, thats a big part of research my friend and why I spend countless hours on it. Remember, you always want to buy for a reason and know as much as you can about it, never buy just to buy and I am not saying you did it. I loaded up on MSFT and kept into earnings, one difference about a company like MSFT, even with a lower forecast after beating earnings, a stock like this usually will never collapse like lower volume and more volital stocks as u saw when GOODS and I held it to the end, we were still able to get out with solid profits. Your making great progress, but again remember, always buy with a game plan and stick with it and never go away from it or it will cost you big time. Patience, Patience and make that dough

well i got to sell some shares AH and premarket and sold the rest off soon as the market opened. came out about even after the trader fees. lesson learned about earnings. thanks GOODS and WHODI

Nice job getting out Legion. That got a little ugly at the open. Even so, good eye seeing the breakout.

Volume should have been better after 2 flat months though. Maybe some speculators going into earnings but the light volume tells me that the pros weren't showing much interest. They're the ones that ultimately set the price.
