Pwning the Stock Market Part 2: Kaboom!

If I could use one expression to describe this last week, it would most definitely be:
Kaboom!

It’s hard not to let good scores go to your head and inflate your ego, this would be one of those scores!
I guesstimated that I could get up to a 30% return on a stock(BPTY)in a one day trade on the stock market. Had I patiently waited the day out I wouldn’t have been far wrong as this stock closed up 29.77%.
I think the days peak on this stock was an increase of 40.2%.
After the first up wave the stock took just over a ten unit dive, this was due to some of the big dogs dumping the stock off. I almost sold the stock at 9:20am after this, nervously I held off! The second wave I had already made my mind up to sell the stock as soon as it approaches the first waves peak. I sold the stock for just under one unit off the first waves peak, which was good considering what I could have sold for if I’d waited the day out.
I’m very happy with my return, a fair bit better than what I’d expected. It’s a shame the big stock ballas dumped the stock this early on in the day but I guess they know what their doing, it just messes it up for small timers like me taking big shots.


I’d not wanted to post this before now as I was unsure if I was going to take another pop at this stock! I’ve been watching the stock for the majority of most days last week and it just seemed too volatile in the short term to attempt another short term investment without any further positive market impacting news. I still stand by my view that this stock is a good long term investment, although it does have some risk factors involved due to the various obvious factors, as does all stock.

The Easter weekend has been amazing also. It has been very sunny here in England, which is somewhat unusual for this time of year. We had a BBQ on Saturday and invited lots of friends. Everyone was so drunk after drinking all day! Lot’s of hilarious conversations came around, that is if this one girl had her mouth full which would allow others to converse! My neighbour/friend, Sarah had invited this girl who is incredibly beautiful, until she opens her mouth that is! No one could get a word in edge ways. I’m a 100% sure If I’d not been so high on life and beer at that point I’d have given her a talking to. Everyone kept making subtle comments which became increasingly un-subtle as the day wore on! HAHA. But really, I wonder how some people do not realise their own self image and how others may perceive them? I’m super conscious of my own self image and how others perceive me. I think maybe that’s why I’m so thoughtful to others. Life shapes us all in different ways and I’m very happy with how life has shaped me so far.

Hope you all had an amazing Easter weekend.
