My sad story as a newbie

Pochong : Lesson learnt, do not put stop loss and profit taking levels. Just let the stock runs.

heureuxL : A tip I learnt is to monitor the stock in the first 30 mins. If the stock price drops but doesn’t go below the opening price in the first 30 mins, consider to buy and hold. It will go up. Also, stock prices go up and down constantly. Look for the cross trend to determine when it is going up and when it is going down. Another thing is to look at what news is going on and analysts ratings recommendations. Like oil and energy now most important due to the war in Ukraine.

ATS A trade sniper : oh u have to work opposite

101694382 : this is a bad time when sentiments are rocky with the war inflation etc. so when sentiments are volatile look at the fundamentals. if the fundamentals are good it's ok to hold or even average down slowly. sofi however is high risk and overvalued and ppl get bullish earlier. so it won't do well in such an environment in the near future. it's conservative intrinsic value currently is probably around 6 to 8 dollars but I guess if u can hold this for a few years, it prolly would rise when we experience another cycle of bullish sentiments.
