I try not to do this too often, but... Here's a stock tip

Market timing can be risky and time-consuming, and the average investor should avoid any attempt at doing so.

Chart:



It’s currently trading within the bottom 5% of its historical price, adjusted for inflation. So far (since 2001) it has never stayed this low for more than 6 months (usually less).

I tried to put in an order for $2.99 tonight but there was an issue - For stocks trading under $3.00, you couldn’t purchase it with money that hadn’t yet cleared. Simple solution: I put in a limit order for $3.00

Anyway, that’s my tip of the moment.

In case the first warning didn’t stick: Past performance does not guarantee future performance, and I am not a financial advisor.

Good luck, fellow traders!
