What's the shortest amount of time you have held a stock?

Question

for me, about ten minutes.

Answer 1

3 seconds, blew it out and made a profit

Caught a marker maker off their market, gave me a wise _ss answer when I tried to correct him, so he got it stuck to him

Answer 2

About 30 seconds.  I typed the wrong symbol in.

Answer 3

About 10 minutes for me as well.  Did not make any money on it either.

Answer 4

I held a stock for approx. 3 1/2 weeks and made over 300% profit, That was after I bought the Wade Cook CD-Course

Here's what I did I bought the stock then I worte a covered call by the end of the holding time I was called out. I just wish that I could do that over and over again.

Answer 5

Well it depends. some times I sell it within 5 min but only after I make profit.

Answer 6

You are too patient.  I dumped one in five minutes!  I am known around the office as "Mr. Timing."  I think you could qualify for the Hall of Fame of the fastest trigger in the west.  Hey, if the stock turned up after your dump, you still did the smart thing.  You must have sell rules and the stock hit your percentage from purchase price sell price?  Or was there news flash that the CEO and Trixie the waitress had caught a plane to Rio?!
