RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:gap up?For sure it is always a risk and an unkown when trying to trade any stock, but as you mentioned, there does seem to be the somewhat obvious price movement surrounding news events. If you propose to be able to time them perfectly all the time, then I would propose you are not beeing truthful as Cudjo found out by selling, as he stated at .30, but it meet his goal and he did make a profit, so no one can complain about that outcome. He can, if he so chooses, invest that gravy, the profit, back in at any time and continue the cycle, well forever, whatever forever is.
Im no expert, and this is only my investment strategy with spec stocks, but I have two lots of coin, one for trading and one for the most part, buy and store away for the longer term. That's just my style and it is not a genius at work here, as many would attest, just works for me at this time in space.
