Dear Sajha members,
I have just recently started to buy and sell stock, I am doing more research on my own but if any of you have been doing investment for a period of a time and know how to do the research and investment I would like to learn from you or if you can tell me how to look at the trend and when or which to sell or buy.

Thank you,

Regarding Brokerage and Commissions - If it's free - you get what you pay for ! Robinhood App can be good for newbies trying to learn how to buy and sell but it's not for Experienced Traders or who buy and sell frequently in the market.

I would look into something like Etrade, TD Ameritrade etc. - They're top notch. It's not just about Commission rates - They've cut down commission rates to $6.95 recently. if you're investing $5,000 in a stock that $7 isn't that much. you get lots of tools etc.

Mutual funds and ETFs are less volatile. I like to go for those.

I am thinking of buying AMID, CDXS, and EMKR, I am trying to make a diversity portfolio distributing 10k in these three or may be more, so far these are the stocks I am planning to buy this week, any more ideas guys

They are good still. Low priced. High div. But you see price volatility is too high.

thanks @rshr,
thank you for your reply, I am still in catch 22 , I really want to invest but not sure which one, I am still learning and researching

i'm going to buy BKCC.

@rshr, I have just sent you a dm, and how long are you planing to hold on BKCC, I am in bay area, BKCC is very close from where i work

What tools are provided by commission brokerage firms?

@Manuwa,

First of all, Robinhood is just an App, it's doesn't have any other platform (website trading or desktop based app) - so for active traders that do many trades, mobile App is not what they would prefer, it would be impossible to do trading based on Mobile App. But, if you want to buy and hold a stock for long term then it maybe for you.

Brokerage firms like Etrade, TD Ameritrade have robust trading platforms designed for Active traders, they also offer their Website for trading and also Mobile App. Think of this way, Stock market is like a battlefield, and with Robinhood App you're going in a battlefield with a Knife whereas everyone else is coming with a machine gun. Again, this only applies if someone is active trading.
They do offer things like Level II quotes which are very useful if you're day trading, you can see the price movement and what the bid/ask size is lining up etc. Also, i do not want to invest lot of money in an App based trading.

Here's my watchlist for this week: 1) ADAP Long set up: - If this stock manages to break $4.71 with good volume, i think it will try to test the first resistance around $5.50 . If that $5.50 resistance is taken out, we test $7.5 to $8 . Keep in mind it has earnings scheduled before Market opens tomorrow, if there's no negative thing in the Quarterly report then these technicals come into play.

ADAP is not for dividend. Very risky.

@Rshr I did say in the previous post: "I buy the risky ones, especially the ones with Low Float and mostly biotech stocks"

Everyday you trade. Sounds good. I like it.

Here is my watchlist for this coming week. All the flagged ones I am looking for short setup and the rest for Long setup. I also look for stock that is gapping up pre market to add in my watchlist everyday to day trade. In and Out.

RING and DUST seems similar.

I have 3 accounts, one in tradeking, one roobinhood, and one just2trade (whotrades). Among them, i frequently use just2trade as it is cheap, $2.5 per trade and also good for penny stocks.

Which one is best for option trading? Can we hear experiences on trading options?

For option trading, the one below is highly regarded: https://www.thinkorswim.com/t/innovation.html You will have to download the application.

ADAP my watch list just hit my first target of around $5.50 which I mentioned yesterday . Hit $5.45 was up +13% in earlier trading !

ADAP so easy money 💰 $$$ +15%
