Day Trading - A guide to trading stocks! - @stockstobuy -
Day Trading is short term trading of shares of stock. Day Trading can be very lucrative if you follow several keys rules and remain disciplined. Day Traders usually buy and sell stocks quickly through out the day and avoid holding a stock overnight.
Day Trading Rules:
1. Don't hold stocks overnight
- If your are hardcore day trader, you want to avoid holding stocks overnight. Events can happen overnight that cause the stock market to drop. This will most likely cause individual stocks to drop as well. Day Trading is all about making trades during the day and coming into the next day fully in cash and ready to trade the next opportunity.
2. Buy break out stocks
- Only buy when a stock has volume and news surrounding the rise in price. After the open, a stock will set a high and a low. Buy the stock if it's breaking up through the high and sell into the rally. This day trading tip has the highest success rate because when a stock is breaking through the high of the day, the computers on wall st are programmed to buy as well. If you can't beat them, join them!
3. Cut losses quickly
- If you buy a stock and it just won't rise but is dropping or you are holding it for a small loss, sell it. Cut your losers and let your winners run.

Stocks to Watch 1/29/09 January 29, 2009
This morning, 1/29/09, the stock market futures are lower as we give back some gains from the past few days. The house passed the stimulus bill last night but did not get support from Republicans. Below are some stocks that will be active in the stock market today. Be sure to check out the latest technical analysis.
Stocks to Watch - January 29, 2009
Dryships ( DRYS ) - $9.40 Down 23.08% - DryShips in breach of some loan covenants -DryShips ( DRYS ) said two of its banks notified the Greek dry bulk carrier that it is in breach of certain financial covenants and it is currently in discussions with its lenders for waivers and amendments to loan covenants. Oppenheimer also downgraded Drys this morning to underperform from perform. Technically, DRYS is dangerous back under $10 and would be cautious. Keep an eye on $9.00 and $8.80, if these are taken out it could get ugly!
Sepracor ( SEPR ) - $15.45 Up 13.35% - Sepracor swings to 4th-quarter profit on lower costs, tops Wall Street forecasts.
Ford ( F ) - $2.01 Down 0.99% - Ford reported a loss of $1.37 in earnings, Revenue 29.2 billion, has roughly 13 billion in cash since they only burned through just over 5 billion for the quarter. During the 3rd quarter, Ford burned through over 7 billion in cash so this is a nice improvement but was expected. Ford says it still doesn't need the bridge loan from the Government.

Potash POT Technical Analysis 12/1/08 - Dec 1st
You've probably noticed that I have been writing about Potash ( POT ) lately! It is because in my opinion, I believe there is a nice upside possibility on the near horizon. While the stock market appears to be breaking down technically after a huge one week run, I am very close to buying Potash ( POT ) in a major way. I need POT to close above the 10 day moving average first and I would love if it did that today in this bad market because when we have a green day, Potash would be a leader and get an even great bump higher.
As of today, the ten day moving average is right at $62.12, we haven't closed over the 10 day level since the Obama rally back in early November. That last run took Pot stock from $70 to $95 in 6 trading sessions. You can see that the potential is there for a nice gainer when this trade plays out. POT is currently at $60, so as of now, I won't be buying POT. Patience is the key because in the past few weeks, every time POT has tested the 10 day it has failed and gone lower. One of these days this trend will reverse and I will be buying. I will not be buying all at once, I will average up!
In this current stock market, it is all about NOT losing money! When I buy, I will be keeping a very tight stop to protect me from losing money. Most traders try to catch a falling knife and have gotten killed this year. I have been sitting on my hands for awhile now waiting to see some strength in this stock to take a long position.
