Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]
Hey Buddy, welcome back old boy !
Thanks! I think I will be posting occasionally from now on and most likely in the Stock Market or History Sections. At any rate, this time I won't let myself engage in poinless exchanges with forum idiots like Joker to name just one.
knowing when to pull the trigger on your stocks (sell) is what makes you rich.
Actually, deciding on the selling of a stock is a lot more difficult than buying unless of course you are a trader rather than an investror. What if you sell and the moment you have done it the stock starts to climb up like crazy? Very frustrating ...
ORLEN low today was $59
Orlen is a very special kind of company. It is a "spółka Skarbu Państwa" which means that the government has a deciding vote in it. The government may change its CEO overnight or tell them to buy a media company that has nothing to do with the core business of their as it actually has done for political reasons quite recently. It is a kind of company that you don't have in the US and thank God you don't.
I'd rather rue a missed opportunity with Orlen. [...] I forgot about it
You did because you didn't see an opportunity there. You've seen it only after it had actually happened.
