[...] A couple weeks ago, my good buddy Tom made 25% overnight by betting on bad news in the stock market. It’s a great example of how there’s opportunity in adversity. [...]

That sounds great. Maybe in the future you two could even work together on a website to help beginners who are interested in learning more about the stock market and investing in it..I’d definitely be interested in that, because I know absolutely nothing except for some of the basics such as “buying at par” ha

Gregg,

I think he got lucky. He’s been reading up on day-trading and talking to a few people.

I do think he has a knack for it and he likes the risk. Both of those things help. We’ll see how he does in the longer term. If he builds a track record of more wins than losses, maybe I’ll get him to put together some trading strategies that have helped him for a Zoomstart post.

Congrats to your friend on a great return. I wish I had more money and more knowledge of the stock market to invest in it..Maybe in a few years

Mat,

Yeah, It’s pretty easy to see that Menu Foods was a panic sell off and was going to bounce back some. It’ll be up and down for a while and he just got lucky with a big jump up happening the day after he bought it.

Hey

I love it!!

I don’t trade as I can’t stand the risk but this guy has exactly the same philosophy I would take..keep a close eye on the stocks that have just taken a huge hit. 9/11 was a terrible event but so many people made so much money due to people panicking…
