Wow, my AMC stock is on fire!
I bought it originally at $16. Then the pandemic hit and it fluctuated between $2 and $6. I told everyone to keep buying it at 2 and sell it at 6. You could triple your money every week or two Now it's getting the Gamestop treatment. It went from $30 to the mid-60s today! They had to halt trading for a while this afternoon. I think I'll ride it up to $300 and then unload it.

(24,013 posts)But it's only a small part of my portfolio. And if I lost it all, it wouldn't be a huge deal. Plus I played it safe with Tesla a couple years ago. I bought it at $200 and sold it at $280.Then it went up to $1,000, split and then climbed up again. Didn't lose money, but didn't make a lot either. So I'm going to take a chance and see where it goes over the next week or so.

(3,268 posts)All time high at +$60 and doubling today and you believe it will hit $300 after a ride. What makes you think its going to go up $240? I didnt understand GameStop other then its a giant bubble. Tesla stock I consider the same.

(3,268 posts)And it is down to $45ish today. Its been the best performing US stock this year second only to GameStop. Lets assume it snaps back to $60.
I looked at AMC debt. Its not in a good spot. It is a meme Reddit stock for sure.
Where do you following the market and look for advice? I am interested in reading more and have played mania stocks in the past (dot.com boom). I had then and made it safer was what I thought was a good social internet group pitching ideas and strategies. It worked and I greatly benefited. I have no idea where these are discussed and which ones are better or best to watch.

Otherwise, you're just hoping a bigger fool will come along to buy the stock at a higher price.

(24,013 posts)I was considering doing that, but I always make conservative moves like that. And I often regret selling too soon. So I'll see if it makes another big runup. I looked at the Gamestop chart and I think I'll use that as an example. If I lose it all, oh well!

(24,013 posts)So now I have 300 shares that I don't have to worry about. If it goes sky high I'm golden. But I think these meme stocks or whatever you want to call them are going to be short lived. But that's what I said about bitcoin too!
