I make my money playing runners.... and i wamted to know how many others do the same thing... I stay from pump groups and droptheclutch because they say they play runners when they just follow one mans pick who end up dumping on them big time..... So once again if you play runners say "hey" or something.....

they say scared money dont make money! imagine you not wanting to play MAAX when it was at 50% that stock went up another 2500% lol.... just remember runners need your funds to keep running!!!!!!! Also i saw some1 post about CNES and GWGO...... i would not play them... reason why is because they ran already and if you jump in you will get dumped on bigtime......look out for new runners that havent been on the forums. My rule never stick with a runner for more then 3 days....... bad luck

Those are rare but imagine getting in when it was up 2500%? Some did, and guess what... they got screwed.
So as you watch your money grow (if you got in early), I'll play my 10 trades on 10% returns.
Just so you can see the math.
$5000 + your 100% return = $5k profit.
$5000 + 10 trades with 10% returns = $8k profit.
Easier to make 10% then 100%. Agree?

i would disagree.... sometimes people wait to long to get in and jumo in at the wrong time... thats why i would jump in a stock that has been running for 3 hours. why? because if the level 2's look good when you jump in then jump in.....SFTV ran for 3 days Same as maax....

Dude i like the way you think.... but..... commision would kill you.... you have 5k break it into five chuckes of 1k each. that means you will be spending 50 bucks to buy and 50 to settel for 10% ...... I would not do that at all. i rather put 4k in all at once then send in the other 1k to keep the run going. the way you make money is cool but you will miss out on the action.. but hey what ever works. and for who ever got into maax when it was 2500% needs to get checked out. If a stock is at 100-250% and there arent any sales look at the level 2's. that stock might want to reach a certain price......

??? Dude, I pay $9.99 per trade. Who the heck do you trade with? I would run like Gump if I was you. $50 per???? It would cost me $200 in commissions. So make it $7800 profit compared to $5000.
Etrade if you must know. Goodnight

I have Freetrade, play pennys, each trade is $3. First 20 trades free EVERY month. I made 58 trades last month. Cost me a total of 38 X $3 or $114. For you it would of cost 10 X 58 or $580. You might want to check out Freetrade.

Scotty, I did look into it and Freetrade doesn't have as much as ETrade offers, plus their customer service is horrible. Etrade is like a personal broker if you call them. Plus I get to trade using satelite through Nextel.
BTW, I made a typo, it's $6.99 I pay, not 9.99. So it's definetly worth it. I remember paying them $24 per trade, I was getting killed 3 years ago but luckily they realized they were losing business.
Anyway - Here's what they offer.
Streaming real-time stock quotes Level II quotes Stock trading Options trading Web-based application Direct access to ECNs Complex options trading Streaming real-time options quotes Desktop software Multiple custom watch lists Customizable charts Streaming charts Options charts Real-time options chains Integrated order entry and order status Real-time balances and buying power Prepare multiple orders in advance Optional order preview Integrated news Detailed stock, options, and market analytics Trading shortcuts Customizable layout Speed keys Alerts Time & sales Custom screeners Satelite Trading

Thats all I do with penny's and pink's anymore,in and out. I lost 3000.00 my first 2 months in penny's by holding ones I thought would run( still have some of them LOL)IMHO it does not matter if the company is good or has potenial because the MM's and naked shorters are going to do what they want with them. I have bought to many stocks that ran 100% in the am and was happy to be up so much then went to work to come home to the fact that they lost all of that and more. Since I only get to watch and play about an hour in the morning I am in and out by then or I don't trade. I do have alot of longs but they are all blue chips because they cannot be manipulated to the extreme that penny's are,no one is gonna play with a stock like GE the way they do CNES or something like that. In on a runner out at aprox 25-40% profit and I am making money now.

What makes you think i pay 50 per trade? I said the way you trade to makes 10% would cost me 50 to buy (because you would break yiur buys into 5 different buys and sell at 10%) 5 buys times 10 trade fee is 50 bucks.... same to sell..... Might as well wait and get a higher return... Dont mean to bash but people like yourself that settels for 10% gain and sells are the members that kill rund. because you own so many shares and when you sell... you scare other people to sell along with you..... If you want to settle for 10% trade nasdaq IMO.. pennies unlike nasdaq can pull out 300% with no problem if people hold!!!! thats the key..... =) Also with etrade if i open a account tommorow can i use my funds right away to trade otcbb stocks.... or do i have to wait 1 week like ameritrade....... And are the level 2's up to the second?

Hell if you can get 10% on every trade you make you will be a very rich man. People end up losing their ass when they jump in a run thats already up 200% because of "stories" like this that the stock is going to run to a 1000%! Ill take my 10% all day everyday. If that kills your 1000% dreams then maybe you should head to vegas.

Well if you cant be infront of the computer for more then 3 hours then you should not trade pennies....And those that dont have level 2's 9 times out of 10 get burned because when they see it on microcap its in delay... thats why we need to create a live chat so we can play runners up to the second...

If he likes to take 10% on a trade what's your problem with that 1000.00 a trade at 10% is 100.00 do that every day the market is open and you make 20,000 plus a year before fee's. My self I would like to see more than that but I would take 10% before I lost money. Every one trade the way they feel is right there is no bad way to make money.

HOLY CRAP. I have to clarify before others assume.
One more time. If you invest $5000 at a time and make 10% each time. 10 trades is $8k profit. You'll make 10% 10 times before you even see 100%.
Sometimes I invest a lot more, sometimes I take 15%, somtimes I take 5%. Other times I'll take 40%. Some people just need to learn a few things before saying "people like me ruin the run".
People like me don't have to worry about losing $1000 in 1 day.
Take your profits and move on.

well its what ever people deem is the best thing for them. If you want 10% go for 10... If you go for 100% go for 100..... just remember there are numbers more then 10 like 11 or 20 maybe even 30...... well i mean 10% is a profit but if you play that way you will be kicking yourself if it goes up more then 10% Then again i have alot of money in my account because i aim high and not low.... But besides the point we should all hook up and form a little group that watch runners..... Should be fun!
