I have been doing some research (call it probability and statistics) of stocks. I have been fine tuning my method of which stocks to buy, and when to buy and sell them. At the present time, my best approach is to buy at 10am and sell at 3:55. Obviously, just looking at this day's stocks and their respective charts, I could have done even better. I still can't complain though with over 5 grand profit in one day. This was a great day. Some days are losses. I am learning to put in stop losses of about 2 grand. Very rarely do stocks go down that amount and recover. I let the good ones ride and cut the dogs!
Im definately going to scour through the earnings dates a lot more carefully after seeing VOL. I was looking at it right after you mentioned it and cant believe I missed such an opportunity. Lots of short interest out. It wont happen again. . .
