Is there a better day of the week to sell shares (as a rule of thumb)?

Sell on Monday at about 10 am EST, most of the day traders are usually back in by then and ready to take whatever you're unloading.

It really depends on the length of your trade.\n\nSome trades run through the day - then the trade could be fully technical or fully based on news.\n\nOther trades can run through months - just letting the trade run with the profits. With that you would be using both technical as well as fundamental to plot out an exit plan as the stock moves to become even more profitable.\n\nIn my opinion, behavioural aspects of the markets are all represented in the charts.

Depends which market you are talking about.\n\nBasically any stock that is indicating a very strong uptrend (or downtrend) you can make money on in an intraday trade.\n\nOr you can base your one day trade on a volatiliy based on news reports.

Closest to expiration and market price will have the most volatility.  They are coming out with options that expire every week.  If your stock has one of those options contracts, that is your best bet.

Yes and it does have to do with dividends.  You'll want to exercise early if the stock is about to pay a dividend and the "time value" of the option is less than the dividend.  \n\nWhat does that mean?  Well, a stock's price should drop after a dividend is paid so if the current market price is just slightly above your option's strike price, the option could go from an "in the money" option (meaning if you exercise you'll get some cash) to an "out of the money" option (meaning you'll get nothing).  Still, even this wouldn't mean that you'd definitely want to exercise the option unless the expiry date of the option was also coming up.  I.e. the stock price doesn't have a reasonable chance of recovering from the dividend payment to get back "into the money".

I have been successful overall with trades lasting a few weeks or months but shorter than that I haven't done well.  I generally don't make good decisions under pressure, in the stock market or anywhere else, so day trading doesn't fit my psychological profile.  But even if you work well under pressure, like an emergency-room doctor, that's no guarantee you can do well at day-trading.  If you want to try it, I'd strongly suggest you start with longer time frames and see how you react to different situations.\n\nWC Lewis' answer doesn't make sense and you can see from his questions that he's an impostor or a lunatic.

Need more specific information.  I would sell as quickly as possible and take the equity and put it into something more managable.

I've done that with what I call 'loose change'.  Sometimes I've got a few dollars sitting around, obviously not going to make a lot of interest and not large enough for something substantial.  If some risky thing has been going down but I still feel it worth holding onto (its kinda fun when you sweat over a $90 stock moving a couple of bucks while a stock selling for less than a dime now goes for a buck or two, and yes, I've had that happen), then making an extra small trade can average down the value of your position.  When the stock starts to tick up for whatever reasons, you now have a lower break-even or profit point.  Again, it is only if you've got a few bucks left not doing anything and at Scottrade for $7 plus a half-point, it doesn't hurt much.  Of course, I also got a couple that are cluttering up my list because it will cost more to sell than they are worth today but that is part of the risk, right?

It depends upon the fund.  Some price hourly, however 99% of firms price their funds at the close of business.  When they release the information is specific to the firm and when it appears is specific to the data provider.  You should presume that any price you see was the close of business the prior day, unless you specifically know otherwise.  Since funds are not designed to daytrade and since funds have strange redemption rules based upon the phrasing of the Investment Company Act, it doesn't matter much because you are pretty much required to sell or buy blind.  \n\nIf I buy at noon tomorrow, it will be at the next official price, which is usually close of business and will happen on the following day.  So if the price tonight is 10.13, the real but undisclosed price tomorrow at noon is 10.12 but finishes at 10.14, then I will pay 10.14 the day after tomorrow at the opening of business probably but at some point in the day.\n\nClosed end funds only update once per week, usually on Fridays.

I use Stockwiz for end-of-day trading. It's completely programmable, which is what I wanted, but the programming language is .... primitive.\nBut it's free.\n\nhttp://www.stockwiz.com/\n\nCaveat:\n- I am still using version 3, although there is a version 4 available\n- You still need a service to get your daily stockquotes, which is most likely *not* free

commodity is a sure way to make $ quickly but also loose all of it very quickly.  Set up sharebuilder and research and choose a stock of an established company.  put in $500 each time over the next 12 months into that stock ( that's 4 x @ $4 each time). or buy $150 each month over 12 months or even more... as now you've just started the process of investing on very little savings.. Otherwise, set up and scot or etrade and day tray on established companies.

I'm not here to encourage or dissuade you from Motley Fool,I'll just give you my opinion.\n\n Motley Fool is 1 of the most "forward" investment advisor forums on the net.Mind you,this isn't good or bad.That depends upon your investment/trading style.For the day-trader, the Fool is useless;except for the "buzz" it generates.For Investing; you'd do better by following the advice of an FA, and work on what they recommend.\n GOOD LUCK
