that's an interesting take. Why don't you use options instead of stock, you can greater value there with fixed risk.

i'm a trader at a trading education company in aust. we do prop trading and also hedge style fund management. I've only been here for a year, but I've always been trading before that.

I mostly do futures on forex, stock indices and commodities. but we do a lot of equity trades as a company.

for stocks you need a lot of money to make it worthwhile because a stock can go sideways for years...buy and hold strategies are good I suppose..collect dividends. ETFs like SDIV are really good for that.

timing the market is a dangerous thing to do. if you have long time frames on your trades, then why don't you just buy options that are cheap. better value than outright stock.
