I'm suspicious of your intentions. The first thought that comes to mind is this sounds like day trading, which while legal, can break the bank. I prefer to invest in equities which represent solid Companies, doing well while increasing their ROI, ROE, increasing the size of their resistance to competition-sometimes referred to as their moat & leading with better than average menagement. Here's a site you can learn much from if you'll take the time, link 1. \n\nBut if you really want to test your financial reserves, try this, link 2:

Indonesia Fund (IF) has had major intraday gyrations recently but liquidity is bad, at least on odd lots.  I had to wait several minutes for a market order to fill a few days ago.  I have had better luck buying and selling with limit orders.\n\nBallard Power (BLDP) volatility has spiked to an extreme this month.  FCEL, AMSC, and EMKR can generally be counted on to move somewhere every day--I just wish I could figure out which way.  These aren't penny stocks.  The spreads are decent.  I don't trade them enough to comment on liquidity but market orders have always filled right away.

Other, I used the prices and volumes to guide me when to sell or exit.  For instant, If my stock going up, have a long run, one day the price is decline like 5 percent, the volume is double or higher from the last session. That is a yellow flag for me, and I have to a decision quickly before it decline further.  I usually sell it with no hestitate when that happen.

I don't think the Yahoo stock is going to crash. Its reputation, strong financial competences and great experience in the new economy are the most relevant aspects in evaluating Yahoo as an investing option. The opinion of non-experts isn't so important.

FCEL, STKL, POZN.  All have been down recently b/c the market has been getting hammered.  POZN took a big loss the other day b/c the FDA says their new drug is effective, but wants a little more info on it's safety.  So it may be poised for a big comeback.  You might be better off investing in bigger companies, these smaller ones are all considered pretty risky!

Doubt it. It is rated as one of the lowest stocks according to investors.com. LOOK is not profitable and has been dropping the last 5 yrs. \n\nIn the last 17 trading days, there has been 10 down days on higher than average volume. This shows weakness in the stock.\n\nIt would be more of a gamble to hold the stock. There are a lot of better stocks out there.\n\nI would dump and put my money in something else.

Best Investment(s): Aquarius Platinum (AQP.L) - bought £5 worth last July via Halifax SHAREBUILDER (franchised from sharebuilder.com for the UK market)..... got as high as about 114% in profit before crashing back down to about 79% in profit.\nWOLFSON Microelectronics (WLF.L) - makes things like the sound chips used in the SONY PSP, XBOX360 + Video iPod. Stuck a tenner on them at the end of November '05. Currently +56.82% in profit, but that's only after they took a couple of big drops on Friday & Monday (28.00 on Monday).\n\nWorst Investment: Goshawk Insurance Holdings (GOS.L) - bought earlier this year as a bit of a dabble in "bottom fishing", appears they have de-listed. Bought 67.253522 in them for £5 (sharebuilder again)\n\nTinsley (Eliza) - TNL.L  Shares suspended since end of january due to company being put in administration (so much for making a huge profit on their low valued shares: 20.95123 for £5.\n\nD1 Oils (DOO.L) - one of my first investments early last year. The first I sold 'cos the value was going up & down like a prostitute's knickers on a good night. Was £5.12 in profit at the time, but only got 12p back after the commission fee was deducted.

It could mean 2 things - they are still going down or they have hit bottom. If a stock is at or near its 52-week low, I like that it has been there for a while to know that it might have bottomed.

Coach has maxed itself out @ almost $40.00 per share and will never offer you much of a return unless it plummets back down to it's foundation price.  \n\nIt is too high and was only a productive purchase to those smart enough to get in on the ground floor.  \n\nIt is rated at an 8,  a great stock to own but as far as it going up enough to make you money...  I don't see it happening.  It wont ever become an Abercrombie or an american eagle.  I don't think so anyway...  always go with your gut!  I would hate to be the deciding factor and you not do something you should have done. \n\nCheck out Psun...  It just split and is still cheap!

With respect to the market in general, there's been a good-sized pullback from May to the current period.  Those stocks which have suffered most are the ones which have had the largest amount of growth (precious metals, emerging markets, etc.).  Many funds not only lost all of their gains Jan-Apr, but many actually dipped into negative YTD territory.\n\nSo you have to ask yourself: is this money you have in Fidelity on a permanent downward trend or an overdue correction?  Are your losses due to the possibility that your investments at Fidelity were focused on the highest growth (and therefore most volatile and overdue for correction) funds?  What are the long-term performance records of the funds you've chosen (4 months is a drop in the bucket of time)?\n\nBasically, you can't just look at gains and losses.  You have to look specifically at the funds you've chosen, and balance them against your personal risk tolerance.  It's very likely that with the right (or wrong) combination of funds, you could have lost as much with T Rowe Price, Vanguard, Bridgeway or any number of fund families.  If you don't believe me, look at their Websites and check the fund performances.  Red ink all over the place.\n\nDon't dump funds just because they're going down or buy them just because they're going up.  How do you know you're not buying at the top or selling at the bottom?  You'll inevitably wind up buying high and selling low.  Understand why you're buying into a fund and if the circumstances that made you buy them still make sense, stick with them.  If circumstances have changed, that's the time to re-evaluate and think about selling.  Also think about selling if the assumptions you made originally were wrong.

Here's a little something I've learned about Cramer. When he pushes a stock, the next day in the first 1/2 hr, the stock goes up. To make money off of his hype, get ready to short it.

One thing you'll want to focus on is same store sales, which is one of the primary performance metrics in SBUX's industry. Note last quarter they blew out their earnings and same store sales were great. However, you should also acknowledge that SBUX is an expensive stock. Granted, it's growing at a very healthy rate, but the PEG ratio is over 1.75, which measures the P/E relative to the growth.

Fundamentals are nice to look at, but never ignore the technicals which are the charts. Charts never lies, no matter what's the rumor is, go back and look at the charts.\n\nTo look at fundamentals, look at its sales and profit history, hows the sector performing, are the funds jumpining into the stock.\n\nTechnicals look at if there are any spikes, what's the chart doing, hows the volume for every close, pullbacks, support on 50 and 100 day moving average\n \nYahoo Finance, and MSN Money have great tools to make use of to enhance your stock experience.

OK, you need to watch the stock prices and volumes very closely.  If the stock pull back with low volumes and the prices is just down a little bit, you should hold.  On the other hand, if the stock pull back with heavy volumes and the prices down like 3% or higher and the volumes are higher than the last trading session, you should sell the stock immediately.  The institutions are selling the stock, and you don't want to sit around watch your gains disappear.\n\nOther sell sign, if the stock repeately reach 52 weeks high with low volume, you want to sell it also.  Don't lost any money OK!
