Thanks Lewdog I will consider WIRE, I don't know how you figure risk percentage into the math but I trust you.

There's more than one way to skin a cat.
lew's way is the safest/smartest way to invest, no question. The way I go about it is definitely riskier, but also a higher chance of quick gains. I'm too lazy/impatient to invest like lewdog but that doesn't mean I haven't learned from him. |

Amazing earnings this week.
AMD is gonna blowout their earnings, I think a surprise $4.5B revenue quarter. Intel's data center segment was bleeding and the choice CPU of high-end mining rigs are threadrippers. EBAY I think has a big Q as they're the ones facilitating the used GPU and collectible boom. Qualcomm should also could react well to their earnings, they're lagging behind the rest of the semi industry also. |

(Purchase price - stop loss) Divided by purchase price = percent loss for trade WIRE 72.21 - 68.88 = 3.33 3.33/72.21= 4.6% loss |

I'm just asking that people appreciate that when investing. You don't get many 2020 stock market gains. That rebound from pandemic lows is not common. |

You gotta get in before the end of the pump and out before the dump. And after you take profit dont look at it again like me and be pissed at yourself for not letting it go longer...that will inevitably lead to bagholding the next play.

Are your stop losses always set less than 10%? Just curious because in the previous examples, they weren't round numbers. Where do you come up with the stop loss %? I usually just set it at 5%, sometimes 10% depending on volatility.
