I am a noob so excuse my questions. BA is Boeing right? I lost $500 on BA (Boeing) over the past five days and sold it off. I do not see any gains for BA over the past week. What am I missing? Just trying to learn. |
Sorry for coming off in a negative way, but did you really just buy a stock using a ticker symbol 'BA' without even knowing what you bought? Clearly it says Boeing all over when you put BA.
Anyways, stock prices went down, you lost money. If it goes up you make money. Not that hard of a concept. You never 'truly' gain or lose until you sell. Should've just held it, BA is not a short term stock to play right now, too risky.
EDIT: you probably just used Boeing on the search to purchase. BA is the ticker symbol for the company to identify it in the stock market.
