And you say you're new to trading?....that's a lot of cash to gamble.

There's a lot of information for new traders here on HSM. You should read some of it, and learn some strategies prior to placing so much money on a trade ( unless you're rich and bored )....go here:

I think she may have meant $500 not 500 shares. Either way, the stock market education section is a great place to learn the basics. Also check out the education videos section.

No,500 shares each purchase.I now have 1000 shares.I recently came into some money so I want to use some of it on my own insted of my fathers guy handling everything.If I lose it all it would be too bad but would not change my life.Easy come,easy go.I am going to set a stop so if it does go down my losses won`t be too painful.LOL  I am just trying to buy some good companys on down days.

13.90 doesnt seem low enough to average down in my opinion. none the less, good luck

I`ll put a stop at 13.80 and if it goes that low I`ll just wait and maybe buy back lower.I could also just put the stop for 500 and hold the other 500.I have time and money on my side.I will see what Monday brings and make my plan then.

What seems to be a good bounce point for ford?

It has been at 13.50-14.00 so thats why I jumped in now.

This is getting interesting. Friday's low was $13.81 and you bought at $13.90 and if the low drops to $13.80 Monday you're going to bail. Right?

Thats my thought right now.I may do 13.70  I`ll just decide once the market gets going and see where I`m at.What I am saying is if the market looks like its really going to fall I will bail and re-enter after the selling subsides.If it looks like just a minor drop I will hold and possibly add more.I just get a feel for whats going on in the moment and move on that.

I kind of like this 14ish level here for a direction change. I might be off slightly and it depends on if the market wants another 100point down day, that could create problems. I wouldn't be expecting a large move upward if it turns, 14.5-15ish probably over several trading days.

That would be nice. At 14.50 I would be really happy and would prob sell at least half and then try to find another good deal.

Or sell all but $500.00 dollars worth because those would be free.I love free stuff.

i'm out of F after sitting on it for 6 months.  overall market is moving down and i've lost enough.

I`m holding for now.

I got out of F today also. Not a bad place for an entry but I bought in a while back befor earnings, should have sold right after they were released. Oh well

im holding too. dont have much compared to that, but im in at $14.00 on both my small buys and i'll be just keeping what unless it presents a great oppertunity to buy or sell (otherwise i'll just be holding for a while).

Feeling better about my holdings this morning.I`m going to the beach so let it ride!! Good luck today guys
