My Daily Stock Picks

[Mr. Krabs]

Hello everyone Just posting my daily stock picks. Don't know if this is allowed, but mods feel free to close the thread if its not allowed. Just thought it would be a cool way of getting to know some members and well, i do this for a living so it doesn't cost me anything to share my picks anyways.

I usually aim for a 1%-2% gain. I won't get into specific entry and exit points.


BUY 9/24/2012

VGZ - Current price $3.52
PENX - Current price $7.50
CAS - Current price $12.45
SCCO - Current price $33.97
IESC - Current price $4.37
AGX - Current price $16.73
TECUA - Current price $5.49



SHORT 9/24/2012

SKUL - Current price $13.00
RNO - Current price $15.98
PGRX - Current price $2.64
THM - Current price $3.10
RIC - Current price $5.37
MPAC - Current price $4.43


Feel more than free to give your thoughts and critic my picks, i do enjoy listening to your opinions. Also, please don't ever, ever try to trade my picks unless you know what you are doing. my picks are extremely risky and if you are not an experienced day trader you can and will lose everything.

Cheers,
Mr. Krabs

[Mr. Krabs]

Let me know if you guys want me to post the 9/25/2012 picks since it does take some time to transfer the picks and post them.

Cheers,
Mr. Krabs

You did well. I only do FTSE and AIM stocks in UK.

No Facebook please and thank you.

HEHEHE i was drooling when people started buying FB. Sorry for those who bought the stock, but did you notice the people who lost money where normal folks that didn't trade much and not the hedge, mutual funds?

I shorted the hell out of it! Why? it was over hyped, over priced, over bought. People traded with emotion and not with a clear understanding on how FB gets revenue and how much more it could grow. It was just an easy sell, since everybody in the U.S knows about facebook and has a facebook and was easy for everybody that doesn't follow the market to believe it was going to be a big hit.

My mom wanted me to invest her money on FB and it took me awhile to convince her not to invest in FB and she still thought i didn't know what i was doing. So i ended up investing her money in FB but what she didn't know is i shorted the stock with her money. Basically i did invest in FB but just not how she wanted.

3 Basic questions you should have asked yourself if you invested in FB or if you intended to invest in FB:

1. How many of you actually click on the advertising that appears on facebook?

2. How many times "per year" have you clicked on the advertizing that's on facebook?

3. How many times have you bought or signed-up for a product that was advertized on your FB page?

Thanks don't really follow FTSE but once in awhile i follow AIM. What do you think of Lonrho plc (LON:LONR) seems like a buy and a quick flip for 1.10% tomorrow.

Never really looked at them but looking at share price mov't it could go either way in my opinion, might drop a bit more or climb up a bit today. Hope that helps

If your trading costs are negligible, and 1-2% is a goal, have you explored the ex-div effect in the S&P?

We have done this in the past. we don't anymore, since we trade on margin.

The past 2 days the 25th and 26th - market had been down on all sectors and that proves to be a bit difficult when picking apart winners from losers. that's why i usually take a day off since we usually break even. Will post picks for 9/28/2012 in about an hour or so.

Interesting. do you have insight you would like to let us know? PM me if you prefer to leave the details out of the thread. Seems a bit average, but i couldn't tell since i am not in-tune to the UK market.

[Runnin' Rebel]

Good thread Mr. Krabs, interesting

No RIMM?

We did trade RIMM and also BBY. The daily trading list consists of 50 companies and it's a hassle posting all of them. I only post the 1st page of the picks, otherwise it could take up to an hour to post all of them. Probably just going to do this 1-2 more weeks since i wake up at 3:00am and by the time i get home around 7:30-8pm i am beat, and the last thing i want to think about is work lol.
