Anyone know of a paid program that can teach me to "put my feet in the water"  - the basics of reading charts and technics.. . how to make your picks.
I thought I knew what I was doing untill I lost today over 1k in teladoc over a missed report.
If you can help please pm with details.
No investor has a 100% success rate, everyone loses here and there.

1st step - come to terms with the fact that you wont win 100% of the time.
2nd- read.
3rd - when you think youve read enough, read more.
4th- only invest in something if you understand what they do and how they make money.
5th- dont try to play the reporting buy's and sells. Investing is different than playing.  Play golf, invest in companies.

7th- trade like a robot don't trade out of emotions (yea I know it's hard).

7B- plan your exit strategy when you invest. (Know at what loss/gain or other endpoint you sell out.)

I think they said on the earnings call bankruptcy is a possibility.

That means it will drop even lower.. 

A few months ago I pointed out a few things about ORIG, most notably that the fundamentals are negative (contract cancellations, though I didn't mention the obvious negative that there's simply an oversupply of oil), and that the stock could be easily manipulated.

When one day-trades, fundamentals probably don't matter, so it's possible for traders to make money on a fundamentally bad company. But IINM a cardinal rule of day trading is to close all positions by the end of each trading day.

As for the possibility for manipulation, trading anything like that is IMHO as safe as the Verrukt ride (unless you are the manipulator).

Here is why I think odds at trading ORIG might be worse than at Atlantic City.

From today's quote:
....
Day's Range   $1.34 - $1.67 - that's a $0.33 range on approximately $1.50 stock
52 Week Range   $0.6601 - $9.52 It's close to the bottom, need to ask what's going on. Contract cancellations
Average Volume (10 Day)   1,694,657 That's tiny volume and easily RIGGED (pun intended)
.....

To sum things up, if you made a profit I am very happy for you. Could it go up more (even double or triple)? Very easily if manipulated properly. What's the intrinsic value? I don't know, and very hard to tell in the current oil market.
.....
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
