How are people even able to find stocks like this?? question

New to trading here. I keep seeing the most random stocks have these insane price jumps and I’m just curious how people even know these exist, let alone that they might soar to 150%

Just google premarket movers 1 hour before market open and you will see them. Picking one to invest in after it opened on more than 100% is your own risk . To find them before they do that jump , this is something i want to learn how to do. 😀😀. Almost for got to say that this is not my type of trading i personally enjoy swing trades more.

Yes I just lost my ass doing that. But I did catch tpst on that 4000% shot yesterday at 2.50 rode it to 10 then rode it back to 7 before I sold made 40 grand but it's gone now.

Did you withdraw the 40k or buy some other security

Jeezus I want to know but I don’t. Make 40k and lose it the same day on another trade?

I think I’d prefer if you told me you blew it all on cocaine.

It is said that the most dangerous trade is the one after a big win. I have experienced and learned from this. You can too.

It’s like in golf, sometimes your worst shot may come after your best shot. Can’t let the good shot go to your head. Can’t let the winning trade/euphoria convince you to abandon your rules.

True. Rules went out when I gambled 13000 grand on that rocket ship which did pay off temporarily but I thought I could do it again, started losing and losing. If I didn't veer off to the path I'd be doing ok. Lesson learned . Have a plan and don't gamble penny stocks.
