Stock investment: A beginner | 2020 | 2021 | Ameritrade.com | Cost basics

 March 5, 2021

Introduction

It is hard for me to learn how to invest as an active investor. I did not have chance to make profit on my TFSA $64,000 dollars, but I managed to make some profit so far on my USA Ameritrade.com IRA account. 

2021




2020






Actionable Items

I plan to purchase 200 shares of BORR at price of 1.27 the first thing in the morning of next Monday, March 8, 2021. I should train myself to be patient. Keep learning more about BORR as a business. BORR was one of four oil stocks under risk of bankruptcy in 2020. 

I also plan to purchase another 300 shares of RIG. I sold at loss as well. 

Transactions: 

BORR

2/16/2021  1.47 x 200, -294

2/24/2021  1.32 x 200, 263, 

Loss $31

BORR price on March 5, 2021  1.26

My equity research

I did not work on vaccine research, and I did not follow the update until the stock market went up so quickly with vaccine news. This part is my research interest. I should put it in highest priority. 

Next I spent too much time to speculate the price change. Another thing is to sell the stock with loss. I just could not believe what I did to buy high and sell low. 

CRTX stock

I chose to purchase CRTX to purchase, since it went down 38%. And then it took me 8 business day to use less than $3500 capital to make over $500 profit. 

It takes time for me to learn value investing. Once I learn the marginal safety, I choose to purchase those to stock with over maximum plunges, and then try to catch a rebound. 

Now CRTX is $37.99 on March 5, 2021, and the plunge on Feb. 16 was from $47.47/ share to $30.72/ share. I do believe that I should keep the last time purchase on Feb. 26, 2021 until March 5, 2021. 

The idea to make money

From March 2020 to December 2020, I did purchase at lowest price with good quality stocks. But I did not know how to make money by holding them until March 2021. Just add more shares when the stock price goes down. 

Hold a stock until the stock is overbought, if possible more than 100% compared to lowest price in 52 weeks.
