DollarsmakeSense StormBlessed OP : Catalyst stocks have upcoming news that will act as a catalyst tj drive the stock price up.

DollarsmakeSense : Have specific percentage points on when you sale a stock for profit or loss. Same could apply on when to buy in also. Never chase a hot stock that has already gained over a certain percentage. Whatever your comfort level is. Don't trade during pre or post market, unless you know what price point your wanting to buy in on. Never trade at opening bell or within the first 10+ minutes after the markets open. It seems fairly regularly the price drops a bit between the pre market and going into  regular market  hours. Funny business happens during post and pre markets, or so it seems to me and  how the prices differ. Do your research and due diligence on which positions you decide to trade and stick with them until you've lost too much for your taste. My most common mistake was buying stock and selling it if it didn't perform within the first few days sometimes hours and most usually for a loss. Only to see those stocks explode the next week for huge gains. FOMO is real and it is a tempting temptrous, buy don't let her influence your trading.  There will always be another trade for you to profit from.

DollarsmakeSense : On the other side of things. If you're holding on to a stock that's been going down, and you're wondering if you should sale or looking for it to make a reversal. You can watch it and wait till it starts turning back towards and gaining today's the high again. You'll notice when it's losses start slowing down, and turning back to green. And if you miss it by a day or two where It's staying flat or making small losses don't sweat it. Just hold cause it'll go back up. Keep a price or a percentage in mind as your risk factor of how much you're comfortable losing.  If you feel good about sitting on a 20% loss than sell of it falls more than 20%, or 10%, or 5%, or whatever you feel good about. I don't like holding stock that's not making money, cause there's always another trade. Some people like to hold and not take a loss on their investment. Just gotta find your comfort level.

DollarsmakeSense : Also, be aware of premarket cause those prices can be deceiving for sure. One good rule to stick to is  never trade during PM or AH. A lot of shady dealings and big moves happen then. A lot of day traders won't even trade during the first 15-30 minutes from opening bell. Just to let all the premarket movements settle, and to get a feeling for what the stocks gonna do during the day. I've learned that the hard way many times, and still do from time to time. Unless there's tons of volume happening with a lot of price action, as opposed to just big jumps in the price without the price wars you usually see happening with bust outs with tons of volume. That's usually a fairly safe sign there's a lot of people trading that stock. Instead of just market makers and institutional traders conducting their funny business.

DollarsmakeSense : We got to do something to redistribute all that wealth, but also close the income gap also. Higher taxes on higher income brackets, increase minimum wage then tie it to inflation would solve that. At least for a decade or two. Lower the corporate tax, make it easier and cheaper to start and run a business too. Higher taxes would create incentives to expand businesses, higher more employees, and pay them better to avoid falling into a higher tax bracket. We need to go back to a pre-1980s tax structure. One with a lot more brackets that go up much higher. There's nothing wrong with 70% tax rate once you reach over a billion dollars.
