Redmanss, let me do a better job here explaining things.
This is the chart for Friday. You can see that the FB stock starts around 177.5 roughly. Then it plummets down to 162 shortly after 10am. This is what I was bringing to your attention . There may be a good opportunity here to get in and make some money. Around 12:30 it peaks however I would not know that so I always get out early to keep from getting caught in a fast pull back and loosing money. Play it safe. You don't make as much but you protect your investment money. This would be considered a Day Trade. You got in and then got out on the same day. There was room in that up trend from 10:15 until 12:30pm to make some good money. The big boys would have walked away with thousands. I got in just a little late and pulled out just a bit early so I made 1145.00 Anyone can do that if you study the chart look at the stock over the last 180 days, understand how it reacts to bad news and how fast it rebounds. If you remember the big privacy breach that hung in the news for a week over FB. The stock dropped substantially and hung there for a bit. Then it climbed back up in the 170's and bounced around there for a bit. This shows that FB is a powerful stock with millions of shares. It has the ability to rebound from bad press which is a strong mover in stock prices. My opinion....It will rebound to a place close to where it was before the blackout and 3rd privacy breach. That makes it attractive to me for the next few days. There is room to make money during that time. It is not a blind poke and hope it is a through study of the stock and its behavior characteristics combined with the current stock market and its movement during a certain time frame or window.
As always....do your due diligence, study each stock, be patient, make your own decisions and above all never listen to anyone who says that you cant do it.
