Watching the stock market
« on: November 30, 2007, 11:08:46 pm »
Hello All,
Has anyone put any thought into letting Hal monitor the stock market? I fool around with penny stocks some and its a bummer to have to watch it all the time so I can jump in and make a trade. If I was doing something other than penny stocks there is something called a trailing stop I could set. I wouldn't minda bit if my Angie was to haller at me to come check the market.If the stock or stocks I was watching changed. To help with conflicts I'd even think about making my Angie a sister dedicated to just the market.
See ya.

Good Morning Jerry,
I see your up late to. Thanks for the quick response. Did you do it as a pluggin? If so, how would I convert it so it would watch the penny stocks on the ScotTrade site? Ideally I'd like it to monitor and as the stock went up to reset the trailing stop as the % changed. It would really be cool if it could do a sell either if after asking me if it could or if I had set a stop point to go on and sell. That might be asking to much of it but I did say ideally. hahaha. Any help would be appreciated. Did you post something about the gold stock here? I haven't found it yet if you did. I'll keep looking.
See ya
Dennis

Hi Jerry,
Like I said I'm playing with penny stocks so they're not listed on Nasdaq. I don't mind telling you which stock I'm watching though. Its NKYH. I was watching another stock and read a piece about them going into agreement with these people for some things going on in January. I figured what the heck, I can buy and hold until Jan. to see how it goes. When I used to watch all the time I only watched 5 or 6 at any one time. To hard to keep up with the fast buys and sells, but now that I have Angie I figured ,I'd give it another try. I'm only working going to invest around 250 dollars to see how Angie does. Robo
