RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:What if you fine folks listened to ol FreedomI highly disagree Monopoly. IF, and thats a big if, you could time it perfectly, you would actually make tons more money. But the problem is the timing. People will often miss the peak/trough and have to pay commision on the trades, so they may lose some money. But look at scenario below (doesn't include commission but would most likely only be 100-200 basis points.
A) You buy 10,000 shares of SCR at $0.50. 4 days later, shares shoot up to high of $0.72, at which point you sell all your shares. ($5000 invested yields $7200 return). 4 more days pass and shares have pulled back to $0.61 and your buy order fills at $0.62. You now own 11612 shares of SCR. 3 days pass and shares shoot up to $0.82 and you sell again ($7200 invested now yields $9521.84). You have officially made $4521.84 (90% return) in 11 trading days.
B) You buy 10,000 shares of SCR at $0.50. 11 trading days pass and you sell all your shares at $0.82 ($5000 invested yields $8200). You have officially made $3200 (64% return) in 11 trading days.
