Successful swing trade but no confidence to day trade this morning
This morning I probably should have attempted a day trade but I didn’t have confidence. Friday, one of my swing trades hit the exit price and I made money. The two stocks I’ve made the most from have been swing trades and not day trades.

I am not the gum on the bottom of her shoe
Just one of those days. They are normally nice to me there, but that one employee!!!
Stock Talk, Briggs and Stratton, BGG
Update: July 20, 2020 Briggs & Stratton filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization and sold assets to KPS Capital Partners. So yeah 🙁
Average Down or Walk Away
One of my brilliant ideas but I still like the company even though it is now real iffy at best. Note that Club Car is the company they have the battery deal with. I don’t know why I said Cub Cart but it is Club Car. Maybe I want to see little cub bears playing golf.
Stock Talk, I screwed up this morning on the stock JILL
For me this was a swing trade I had been holding, even though it was being traded by day traders this morning. And I had my exit price set too high. And greed stopped me from changing my exit price even though common sense was to lower it. It crashed down before hitting the exit price.

Talking Stocks, Stocks that I have bought and sold, not currently holding
& yeah, my camera stopped working again and so using the webcam … damn. Just make me look even worse than I really look. I need to change the settings on the webcam or something. I was playing with them the other day and made them worse.
I am still in the process of testing the waters and learning so I have not bought and sold a huge number of stocks. Some of these were day trades. Some were busted day trades that became swing trades. Some were bought as swing trades. Only one of these stocks, I sold at a loss.
When I said VXRT was my first purchase I meant attempted day trade back a few months ago and successful swing trade. I had bought some investment & swing trade stocks before that. Also, that was before it popped up to the current level.

There is a US coin shortage. No run on the banks is expected.
There is a US coin shortage. The shortage is probably from a combination of where people are not taking their coins to the machines to turn into paper money and also people are using cash more and credit/debit cards less. There has been around a 30% reduction in credit card usage since medical crisis began.

Talk Stocks I was looking at 7-14-2020 – Swing Trading Is Hard :-)
I did not trade anything today and I am glad that I did not. I am sure there was money to be made by some but I was equally sure the trades would not work for me. I did not feel I could do a successful day trade & I did not feel the stocks would work as a swing trade at those prices.
Australia thinks they are going to force google & facebook to pay $$$ to their news organizations.
Actually the Australian white papers on the proposal use the term digital platforms but most suggest it is aimed at google and facebook. How will google and facebook probably react in the long run?

Talk Stocks and also karma voice vs. grace voice
In your inner debates which voice do you listen to more: the Karma Voice that causes bad decisions or the Grace Voice which helps you down the right path? In cartoons they like to present the devil on the shoulder vs. the angel on the shoulder, but those inner debates we have aren’t just cartoon material.
