Maybe I am stating the obvious here, stockhouse/stocktwits/ihub/etc might be decent places to get ideas, but I would never trade on the advice of those on those boards.

Step 1: Get idea
Step 2: Look at technicals
Step 3: Look at fundamentals
Step 4: Look at options
Step 5: Decide on entry/exit
Step 6: Execute

Or alternatively you can follow this model;

Step 1: Buy AMRN
Step 2: Baghold

All I'm really saying is that (understand I don't know you or where you are at with investments), it's very important to understand fundamentals/technicals/options before buying anything.

As I grow older/wiser it becomes more and more clear to me that trading on technicals alone is the way to go, there is people with bots setup to trade technicals who make piles of cash.

My .02 anyway.
