Are you a good financial trader? Check out the length of your ring finger with your index finger. Is it longer, same length or shorter? According to a latest study, you are a savy financial trader if your ring finger is longer than your index finger. Go figure!
Anyways, everything was down yesterday and as a result of that, today is a good buying day. I got up early today to review the pre-market and decided to buy 500 shares of ALD. I was lucky to pick up 1,000 shares of ALD before Christmas and by New Years, I had doubled my money. At $3.03 per share, I am going to be patient and wait for it to top off at $5.00 before I will sell these 500 shares.
Another best bet is to pick up one of the shipping stocks: DRYS or GNK. For DRYS, I won’t pay more than $15.00 for it. If the market ever tanks, look for levels under $13.00. For GNK, I won’t pay more than $17.00 per share. Again if the market sinks, get some GNK for under $15. On good days, DRYS trades in the high $17, even $18 and GNK can go as high as $19.85. The target is about a week.
Other stocks to look out for include APL. I bought some at $5.87 and it has touched the $10 mark not too long ago. I’m hoping it will peak again soon.

Having a day job surely eliminates the time for you to day trade. But I should be more diligent in sharing with you news about my day trading system. I’m not yet to share it with the world so please approach it with care. I don’t have any qualms to you sitting on the sidelines and watching. Viewing is free.
I spent the last 3 days day trading shipping stocks such as DRYS and GNK. On Tuesday, I picked up 400 shares of DRYS at $10.09. By Wednesday, I sold them at $11.10 for a not so easy $390 gain. It was not so easy because I watched the stock fluctuate constantly for 2 hours, adding stress to my day.
Today, I went in on PLD. I got in late so I didn’t buy it until it surged to $7.10. After four hours, I sold half my position at $7.49. You can say I’m nervous because I have no clue what PLD does or sell. The good thing about PLD and the shipping stocks is that they pay a hefty dividend. To a day trader, it is good news because if the stock drops and you end up holding it, you will get paid a dividend for your inconvenience.

Sorry but I haven’t been very diligent at making any (new) money. I’ve since spent the money that I made and I’m back for more. With the market conditions, it’s really hard getting up early and signing onto my broker account. As soon as I get to the main screen, I’m turned off by all the lousy economic news. Almost enough to make me turn off my machine and go back to bed.
Today I decided to play a few stocks. My pick is DRYS and GNK. With over 53 million trades for DRYS, something is going on with this stock. I bought in at 10.22 when it was riding high then it tanked before recovering to 10.65. I sold it for a quick buck. That’s the way it is these days, I just don’t trust buying anything and sitting on it. Also for GNK, I bought in at 10.50 and when it was flying at 11.55, I sold it for another quick buck.
These aren’t big money makers but if you want a safe day trade, this is it.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the stock price at $2.45 so I sold out my 1,000 shares that I bought yesterday at $2.07. I pocketed $380 over 24 hours, not bad at all. That brings my $1500 investment to $1230 gain which is a little shy of doubling my money.
Luckily for me, I got back in about an hour ago at $2.09. I see that the stock dipped as low as $1.90 but I was not near my computer at the time so I could not take advantage of the price. Maybe I’ll get to sell it again before the market closes today. Lets hope for that.
