On Nov 5, Pfizer introduced a new COVID-19 antiviral pill that is expected to treat 89% of acutely hospitalized patients and thus reduce the risk of death. @HuatEveranticipated that Pfizer's share price would continue to climb once the FDA approved the new antiviral pill. What do you think?

SIX: How do you decide when to buy/sell?
@HopeAlwayssaid that there is no best way to determine when to buy and when to sell the stocks of indexes. The timings depend on investing goals, philosophies, and personal preferences.
"The three main risks are company, valuation and earnings risks. Once we are able to find a stock that that signals low risk based on these three conditions, it is time to buy. Whenever a negative change happens to any of the three conditions,  it is time to sell."

SEVEN: How do you know when to stop loss / take profit?
@Powerhousehas three underlying principles in stopping losses and taking profits. All investors should stay informed and closely observe trends to set price targets.

$Phunware(PHUN.US)$ From the time I knew PHUN sold for $8.99, it fell 7.99 to buy 7.99, then it fell 5.99, then I bought 4.89, it fell 3.99, then I bought 3.99, then I bought 3.99, and it fell 3.00 to die. I bought them all at $8000, and didn't earn a dime. Are you as pathetic as me?

$Alibaba(BABA.US)$ impressive operations, some may see this as an opportunity to buy on the dip. As it stands, BABA stock currently trades at $122.24 a share as of Monday's close. Despite all of this, Alibaba does not appear to be sitting idly by on the operational front just yet. As of today, the company's Alibaba Cloud division is now working with $Confluent(CFLT.US)$ , a data infrastructure firm. Together, both firms aim to bring the Confluent Data Streaming Service to mainland China firms. This essentially allows said clients to access a "modern data streaming platform to harness the flow of real-time data". All in all, with Alibaba powering forward, would you consider BABA stock a top consumer tech stock to watch in the stock market today?

$Sunworks(SUNW.US)$ You can read the bottom of 9.13.
