Making $5K with $20K each month

  1. AMZN wants next leg up, it maybe ready. Price first target is $65, next $68, solid support at $60s. Might see first resistence at $63.8 - the 52 weeks high, after that, blue sky. Well, I'll just trade the stocks I'm very familar with like AMZN or the ones I've done the homework, don't touch these POS stocks like the one I played today (I even cannot recall the ticker anymore).

  3. PT,

    I just read your post from about a week ago. I was impressed by you giving God His due. Faith is a driver to many of us who are trying to make more from what He's given us.

    I'am also trading for a living. I don't have another job and I have a family to support. I have about the same amount of equity. My two biggest challenges is with this amount of capital trying to trade more than one equity at a time. and #2 trying to screen for stocks that are active enough, volume and daily range to trade without getting taken to the bank.

  4. After made a daytrade on CSUN (today's IPO), I have 0 buying power left. Called the broker, said 1st day IPO is trading as CASH, not marginable, so all buying power is used as cash trade.

    ESRG $1.98 x 1.99, my $2 target is met, I am locking in profits. What a scary shake on ESRG this morning, glad I didn't shake out on no volume. If it goes over $2, I might get back in, but I've no more buying power, so will just watch.

    I holded some EGMI overnight, this dog gapped down open, I sold it right at the open for a small loss.

  6. StockyIrishman,

    Looks like we're in the same boat. Keep your spirit up, don't give up, look at the positives we have, families/friends expect us to succeed. We've obligations to fulfill. Believe your ability, and most importantly, believe God, he's on our side if we just make the rational trades, he always does miracle things to help us, it happened to me so many times in my life.

    Things will get better as we traders learn more about ourselves and the market.

    Good luck to you, may God bless us!

  7. Sold ESRG and 1/2 SNEN @ 2.75 on my friend's account. His account is back over $21K. SNEN is in consolidation/distribution mode at 2.70s. I still hold 3K shares for much higher prices as an investment, maybe at $4-5 target, if SNEN dips in the next two days, I will have the $ to buy back after the cash is cleared on his account.

  9. SRDP $1.01 x 1.25. This one appears to be a new microcap IPO just started minutes ago, popped up to my scanner, it had over 2.3 million shares crossed at $1.01 (means someone bought 2.3 millions at $1.01 through inside transactions or between brokers). I would put a bid of 1K shares at $1.01.

    In my past experience, stocks like this usually trades higher than $1.01 int he days to come. SNEN did exactly that when it started the IPO, I watched and bought at $1.80.

  10. CSUN, could run a little higher than $13 in the next couple days, IMHO:

    Update: 12:24 PM ET May 17, 2007

    NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- China Sunergy rose nearly 20% after pricing above
    priced above its range in its stock market debut Thursday as the latest
    energy-related deal in the market for initial public offerings.

    The IPOs are tapping into hunger for alternative energy deals as well as
    continued growth pressure in the traditional oil, gas and electricity sectors.

    China Sunergy Co. Ltd. (CSUN) offered 8.5 million shares at $11 a share, raising
    $94 million. The newly minted stock opened at $12 and rose to $13.06 for a gain
    of 19% over its IPO price.

    In a sign of strong interest in the deal, China Sunergy priced above its $8-$10
    range.

    The Nanjing, China-based maker of solar cell products reported net income of
    $11.8 million on $150 million in revenue in 2006, compared to a net loss of
    $307,000 and revenue of $14 million in 2005.

    The IPOs from China Sunergy and others come amid worldwide demand in the solar
    power business, which is becoming increasingly dependent on China's manufacturing
    prowess.

    China-based solar incumbents in the U.S. stock market include JA Solar (JASO),
    Solarfun Power Holdings (SOLF) and Suntech Power (STP).
