  • Selection from Glossary

    • Buy Early
      A short term trading technique whereby a stock is bought early on day one and sold before the markey closes on the same day. Here the objective is look for early gainers in the 'biggest winners' list. Select a share that has started to rise, say around 5%, within an hour or so of the market opening. Again this is likely to be a smaller company or technology stock. Buying this early gives the opportunity of further gains when brokers and larger institutions begin to take note of the rising prices and decide to purchase the stock. Sell the stock before the end of trading on the same day so positions are not held overnight.
