Could be. Either way though it doesn't really matt
Post# of 1023
What is nice if we do close red today is that the ichimoku cloud would start to move sideways (green) instead of straight up. I know that charts don't always work well in penny stocks, but neither do our cars in traffic; nothing works all the time, but that doesn't mean charts cant be useful.
I'm not sure if anyone is aware of this, but late last year VIS VIRES Group filed a Schedule 13G because they now own 19 million shares of SCIE or 9.99%. This isn't of any major significance as basic DD shows Vis Vires buys 9.99% of countless other stocks in hopes of making a profit; many of the companies they buy never make a profit, so its my opinion their mantra is, "Buy a lot of shares from a lot of companies and hopefully one will make us a profit". The reason I bring this up is it could be useful if one day we see a large sale for around 10 million - 19 million shares; its probably them taking profits.
Note
I completely understand the feeling on red days. its typical to think, "Oh no!!! all my profits are disappearing!", but going off of an older post of mine (opinion), remember - we cant have green days without red days. And even more important, its not 'profit' until you sell. Thinking of it like that lessens the 'dramatic effect' on red days.
WARNING: EVERYTHING ABOVE IS PURE OPINION AND EVERYTHING below is PURE opinion. This is not investment advice.
I think the difference between staying invested in a company that has red days and selling when a company has red days are the fundamentals found through DD. I lost thousands of dollars in another investment recently; but fortunately, even though I sold at a loss, it was not a complete loss. I think that's the fine line which splits investors into two categories. Some people don't know when to sell because they 'hope the price will go back up' and cant accept the fact that they will lose money if they sell. They hold and hold and hold (for years), watch their investment dwindle to nothing, and still hold with this 'hope' that their investment will go back up 'someday'. Of course, everyone has their own investment strategies and if this is how they invest, and this is what works for them, then that's great. But notice the issue here is 'hope'. 'Hope' and 'DD' don't mix. 'Hope' is a feeling and when you invest based on 'hope', it should be a warning sign that perhaps something changed and you need to reevaluate your investment strategy. Of course, I 'hope' too, but staying invested on hope is where some people may get affected (OPINION!).
Other investors accept taking the loss because they realize it is better to reinvest their remaining investment in another company than sustain a total and complete loss. And the confusion with all of this stems from those gut feelings we get which say, "But if I sell, and the price goes up...I could have made a lot of money!" Other voices include, "Ill sell at .25 cents, oh crap, its .25 cents.. ok ill sell at .50 cents.. oh crap its .50 cents. ok, ill sell at $1" and then the stock crashes to .05 and you lose everything. That's why (my opinion) its important to set a sell price. Sure, if you sell at .25 cents and the price skyrockets to $1 the next day, you'll feel 'upset', but you still made a profit, right? Someone will always make more than us and someone will always make less than us. I think that's the key. Wanting 'more' and 'more' is what drives many investors to failure.
But again, all of this is not advice. Just opinion and blabbering. Go talk to your investment advisor about your investments.
Did I mention this entire post is OPINION? Yup.
