So I bought a stock called FMCC awhile ago and held 880 shares at 3.0236. It's been going up for awhile now and hit $6 today, so I go to class, after 2 hours I check the stock to see it's down 40%. So I quickly try and sell it and take a $600 profit. Then I waited for it to bottom, bought the stock FNMA at 3.83 (800 shares) and sold it at 4.16 for a profit of $248.

All in all i'm pretty pissed cause I could have made well over $2500..instead I made almost $900...just a small lesson to never get to greedy I guess

tl;dr bought a stock, was up $2500, went to class, stock went down, only made $870

Don't hate on yourself for selling it at the wrong time. Stocks are a guessing game, and it's awesome that you made $870! Hell, I would lose money if I ever went into stock!

You can always go in again and make more!

There is never I could have.. In the trading business that is a daily concerns for many traders, you just have to deal with it however you still made a good profit so congratulations.

Stocks, if done right, are more than a guessing game.

Cool, I've always wanted to get into stocks but it seems very confusing. I understand the basics, but at the same time I don't.

Although you could have made more, $870 is a hell of an amount. Use this money to make more, invest wisely and remember to spend some for yourself!

congratulations. money is money man 2500 or 900 I would be happy with either :)

[lucida]

Appreciate all the support everyone! Starting not to really care about the extra money I would have made, I'm actually really happy I made $900, my goal for this year is $10,000!

[ASLR]
