How do I hold onto things when they're up. I just want to sell and cash in 15%. I think it's up because stimulus stuff too. So if stimulus doesn't pass that's all gone, and if it does maybe 15% is priced in.

I got out at 20% up, I really wish I was investing a real amount of money and wasn't poor, but I'll take it. I want to wait to see unemployment numbers and put money into things that crash then, I think.

I missed the ex-date too and learned something new by following along with the thread. I'm learning a lot about saving money though so once I get an actual income it would be fun to invest properly.  Anyways I hope we irrationally go up some more, I really do have the worst timing.

I'm going long on what I think is an undervalued Reit. HR-UN.TO or HR.UN. They value themselves at 22 dollars a share, they only have 33% retail properties afaik, they lowered their dividend payouts and secured loans to ride out economic collapse, they still collected 80% of their rent in May, and are trading for 50% less then they have been for the past 5 years (unlike other Reit they've been drifting upwards much slower you seem to be getting like, end of march pricing on this one) (They survived the 2008 financial crisis too). I figure I get in now, go long, pray they survive, and collect dividends until I find another good trade I want to make. They usually pay like 14% dividends yield, so getting in now is a super great thing if you aren't interested in active trading and just want to collect checks. If you think they're going back up from 8% where they are now. Which isn't really this thread's thing I guess. Am I dumb?

Wow, this is my first time investing a real amount of money and despite my intention to go long I feel I can make a decent amount of short profit because my timeline for things 'getting better' is like 6 months in the future, and a few percentage points means a lot to me now...

I walked away with some cash from the stock I wanted to go long on. Would love to stick around but it's approaching 2 month long highs for no discernible reason and I'll buy in again later.

I'm holding Rie.un over the weekend. After making some money I saw they were on a discount, a big dividend next week, and trading at monthly lows. I'm guessing about a 7% swing upwards during the week, but if all else fails I'll still be cashing in a .8 percent dividend come Thursday.

Sputnik posted:Curious, because I was also eyeing them up recently. What caused you to figure on a 7% upswing? Hunch? Tea Leaves? Secret insider deets? They're a highly rated company. Reits are notoriously stable apparently. They were at a 2.5 month low this week, and fell 2.5 percent yesterday. The dividend is large, and nothing about the company has probably fundamentally changed in 2.5 months. Usually it's sitting at 15.25~ish, which is a 7% swing up from my position and I think it has swing up a sizable amount around dividend time the past few months. Listen, it's mostly tea leaves because I'm a garbage baby investor who is going to lose everything and the farm... But I feel pretty good about this one because it's a non-meme stock and I bought near bottom.

I will also mention that their volume yesterday was very very small, with occasionally institutional buyers buying 100k+ in bulk. I think other institutional banking types are betting on steadier volume driving it up next week and buying at a discount.  Again, please yell at me if I'm wrong just so I can learn a thing or two.

On one hand, I'm happy I'm up a few percentages. On the other, my analysis was obviously wrong and HR.UN is pushing up too alongside REI.UN, despite their dividend payout being last week. Maybe this is just people putting money back into REITs because they're hopeful? I dunno.

Hmm, I've made 12% since last Thursday. I wonder where I go from here because the REIT's I've been trading are approaching monthly highs and I don't really expect them to grow much beyond that.

I took my hand out of the pot after eating a few percentages of red and missing a chance to get off at a profit. When the markets go red like this am I just supposed to wait and see and buy the biggest loser?

I'm sad I didn't trust my gut and buy into the floor I was seeing at 11 am, but it's hard to make those calls when everything is -5 to -7%, it's basically just gambling right? I bought into a steady REIT i knew was going to recover, sold on recovery, and bought another one that had dividends today and took the .8%. Hopefully I can sell at open for more than the dividend.

I'm not holding over the weekend. Big RIP if I miss out on another huge swing up, but I am expecting a 2-3% drop on the things I like to play in the coming week, which is just more money for me. Gains are gains.

Well, I was worried about a contraction and wasn't sleeping with money in, and it's paying off lately? I think I've dodged like 15-18% down. Yeah I'm with everyone else wondering when we'll be hitting bottom. Sounds like a lot of people don't want to be holding over weekend. It's times like these where I wish I knew a thing or two about options so I could make money off of dips in bad markets, rather than just buying lower and waiting.

FreelanceSocialist posted:I can't decide if I should stay cash through the weekend or if the casuals will get FOMO and buy the market tomorrow. Since March I've tried not to hold stuff over the weekend because poo poo always goes sideways, it seems. Same, I'm tempted to buy in now because it's a decent price to go long on for the things I'm interested in, and the possible short term rally is tempting.

So, I'm learning about buying options because I am just looking for the fastest way to lose all my money. The thing is that buying puts actually seems fairly reasonable? I'm not talking about writing options, because I don't want to assume that much risk ever, but holding puts seems okay as long as you get a decent price. I think I will open some puts, for next week. Betting on a new crash I guess or at least a 7% drop in the stocks I know and love.

Yeah, it sounds like people are very conflicted about the direction we're going to be having over the weekend. I'm pretty sure I'm staying out but sometimes I feel terrible about missing magic overnight gains.

Ha ha ha, I have weak hands. Maybe I'll be able to hold again overnight if it loses some ground. But, I took some profit again. 3% swing ups during days are real. I've made like 5% today and I feel like I should just take a break because somehow it feels like I'm pushing my luck.

Usually I do market orders because I'm not actually buying a lot and it's the fastest way to lock in a dip... But I got punked on one and lost like .8% in up value... Somehow? I guess cause of the low volume... Sometimes I really hate this. That being said looks like I'm still up because it's impossible to lose money apparently.

Inner Light posted:What are you trading..? HR-UN.TO... It follows the reit movements but like 2x as swingy so I get more ups. I refuse to hold overnight because it usually opens up lower than it's daily high... And I'm playing for small dollars. I am very comfortable trading it because I feel like fundamentally, the company is probably fine. Mind you, the wins are never as big as some of the people in the thread.
