I bought 5000 shares of Peabody coal stock @ $1 a share in hopes the war on coal would be over with a trump victory.

The next few days the stock went crazy like nothing I'd ever seen before.  


As you can see it took off.  What happened was the stock was getting squeezed to get the short sellers to sell their stock .

I just happened to be very luck and sold @ 18.75 a share for 93,750.00 it less than a week.  

I put my 20% away for the tax man and rebought another 1000 shares @ $6 and change and it's pushing up again

Playing the stock market game is like sex with a crazy hot chick that fuckes your brains out then kicked you in the balls for a laugh.

Or sometimes it's just pure sex.  

And sometimes, it's just a kick in the nut sack.

True but sometimes you get the chin.

So, uh, can I borrow a few bucks?

Yeah sorry I already spent it on a new tundra.

Uhmm no.  Wrong thread ?



I'm up again in Peabody and down on GENE.

I have a friend who is very risky, buys on margin blah blah blah.  

He's made millions and lost millions.  I remember when I bought him some food in the mid 90s.  

Now he's a multi millionaire over and over.  

I don't trade on his level , I only trade what I can afford to lose and not cry about.  

I've always been lucky and haven't lost yet but I do my research and don't panic when it's down.  

It's a crazy game and if you wait it out you can beat the odds.  Most people panic and sell , I ride it out.
