Yup. I’ve got 3 that I’m keeping my eye on:
Bank of America Nvidia-owns the GPU business and has dominated sales. Grew 30% last year and will continue to rise. AppFolio-zero debt in this company. Expanding customer base that keeps growing. Already won some awards..and their CEO got 100% rating on Glassdoor. Seems to really be going in the right direction. Can’t decide which one to choose |

I can't bring myself to invest in BAC. that company is ethically bankrupt, and it routinely has law suits crop up.

Yeah. I’d need to see a regulatory review of them before I bought anything. You’d think with interest rates starting to creep up bank profitability would look favorable. There might be a reason their stock is down.

Energous, Ticker symbol (WATT) just announced they developed a wireless charger for phones. Stock is up 98% right now. Might pull back before the close as investors may short but it may have some legs for longer term.
Edit: up 120% now Got in at 17.21 Now at 19.43 put in a stop loss at 18.50. I've moved the stop loss up 3 times. LOL Last edited by Hog's Gone Fishin; 12-27-2017 at 01:41 PM.. |

I keep waiting for the day that my wife looks at my stock portfolio and says, "You have stock in WHAT?" I've got stock in companies that make bombers, sugary drinks, guns, mines in virgin forests, gender-offensive advertisements, fake credit accounts in senior citizens' names, Alaskan oil wells, private prisons, and pretty much anything else you can think of. If it's a bad behavior, I assume it's a growth opportunity. |

A lot of people like it is a stock. It does seem undervalued in the current climate of stocks (and the dividend is nice) but banks can be risky. I personally get enough exposure to banks in a mutual fund in my Roth IRA, so I have little want to place addition money in that sector. |

What are your guys recommendations for placing Stop loss orders on securities where you've made a decent profit from you initial investment.
I bought into Canopy Growth at $8. It's currently trading around $21. Where would you place a Stop Loss order to lock in profits? It's a volatile stock that I could see having large swings based on more/less regulations. Should I consider a Stop loss around $16 where I could sell my shares for a double profit if it dropped. I could then consider buying back in at a point lower than this if it kept declining for a while? What are your strategies for locking in gains using Stop Loss orders? |

The one I bought today at 17.21 I immediately put a stop loss on it at 15. It moved to 19 so I moved my stop loss to 17. It moved to 21 so I moved my sl to 19. It ended at 23.70 and I had a SL at 20 at the end of the day. A stock like X we know is pretty stable so I don't mess with a SL on it unless I were to see it start falling for a couple days and get worried. stop loss is only good for the day but costs nothing if it doesn't fill. I'm still learning. A good site to follow is www.stocktwits.com get on there and plug in a ticker symbol for the stock you are following and there will be conversation regarding that stock. And those people on there range from professional traders to regular stock owners but it's like CP for stocks because somebody on there will bring you breaking news that will make you money or at least keep you from losing it. |

I've never done it on stocks, but if it were me, I'd put the stop outside the biggest daily move over the last year. |
