Easy money

  1. Has anyone tried this strategy?

    A stock declines by 5% or more ... MOC buy, sell next day close (MOC).


    From what I heard this is easy money.

    Even easier money to just short MOC the day before it drops 5%.

  7. Yeah - because a stock that is down over 5% NEVER goes down more the next day. And, I have never heard of one gapping down, either.

    But, you need to make sure you take advantage of longs also - a stock rises 5% or more, sell MOC.

    Welcome to the club!!!

    :D :p :eek:

    I would rather sell MOC after the 5% drop and buy back the next day.

    Hmmmmm,

    Well, one way to see is to try it with a 100 shares over 20 stocks that get creamed and see what happens!

    Otherwise, this seems like an easy task even for the free version of Wealth-Lab to test.
