100%, sounds like insider trading!:D Hypothetically, I would buy a large amount of the stock and scale out into the momentum once the news was...
This is very true. News trading used to be a big part of my profits in 2000. Most of the stories back then would move stocks sharply. Today few...
Sure, that's momentum trading. Entering on momentum is a good play if the news is very unexpected.However it's riskier than entering before the...
Right. Many times I've entered a trade when the news first hit the wires and exited as CNBC finally reports on it. That is usually the last little...
