WOOT - URE hit another week high 613.

GHz - my Q of URE didn't materialised at 590 sad.gif

S is heading north as well due to the feel good factor. I'm still holding my C - TP 5.05 - or higher, depends on market feels n condition.

Dumping ETFC for URE or UYG soon.

WOW, URE close at 6.13, nevermind. I still gain even though not that much.

Yes S heading north thumbup.gif It exceed my average price now. Did you manage buy any?

I've sold my last batch of C yesterday at $5.
Now, looking to buy back at 4.50 or below.

Remember to trade the range if you're playing C to be safe.

Good luck!  biggrin.gif

OK I am following you. Buying C at 4.5 or lower. biggrin.gif

I am looking at EK as well. Not sure what is the best entry point? Maybe at 4

I wouldn't take it that way though. Buying in small quantities can actually hurt you more even with low brokerage fees.
Take for example you buy one share of C at USD 4.70. Add the brokerage fee of USD6 (Sogotrade) and you'll end up with a share what needs to go past USD10.70 to breakeven.  laugh.gif
For me it depends, if buy lower price share yes I agree definitely loose but if you higher price shares such as GOOG. current price ~$530, brokerage fee $6, only need to increase to 536 to break even. its easily achievable, eg premarket today alone GOOG up $19.

Dun want a. I can make profit anyway.

Those who are using US broker, now faster hedge the USD la. Free lunch.

If you like to hedge, you also need to hedge even you are using local broker for all shares that you have. You might think you are in profit but due to depreciating of USD you can loose as the exchange is done straight away.

wah URE has very good move yesterday, initially drop to 5.50 & finally rally to 5.93 (5.96 after market). Anyone ride on this?

I grab some at 5.59 & sold off at 5.80. Although not the best price but its very good for day trade.

However I still stuck with S & C. sweat.gif

Found that J2t is not bad overall, improved since last time. Only "big" problem is Java based streaming quote make the CPU utilized over 50%. Ur PC/Lappy fan will try to cool down the CPU.

Tips : use CPUFan idle software.
*
Yes I have the same problem. CPU utilization >50% due to the platform. I send a complain to them. Waiting for their response.

My first cash withdrawal from my SOGOTRADE account went smoothly. So for those who still skeptical about SOGOTRADE, you can leave your worry aside. smile.gif
