AMC Entertainment Holdings is a household name across America. You know them for their movie theaters and how the company was affected during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, AMC seems to be on the rebound after analysts discovered a decrease in sellers which generally precedes a major upswing.

Step 2: Select your number of shares. 

Choosing the number of shares you buy depends on:

  • Your budget. Yes, you should have a budget. If you can’t afford expensive stocks, purchase fractional shares instead.

 

  • Market conditions. Is the market volatile or stable? Is the stock’s industry or index volatile/stable? You can cash out of volatile stocks quickly, or you can hold stable stocks for long periods of time.
  • Your position. Are you going all in on a stock you plan to hold? Are you buying a ton of stock so you can sell when the price jumps in a few hours?

 

Step 3: Choose an order type.

The order type is just as important as the amount of money you spend on a stock, which stock you choose and your budget. Your order is usually a market order, meaning you bought or sold stock at the market price. However, that can change given your circumstances.

Try:

  • Stop-loss orders. Set a price below which you refuse to go, ensuring you don’t keep losing money.
  • Stop-limit orders. Set a price at which you want to sell so you can cash out the stock for a profit.
  • Good til canceled. These orders remain open and purchase or sell stock until you want them closed.
  • All or none. You can arrange a purchase or sale of a specific number of shares. If that cannot happen, the order never occurs.

Step 4: Execute your trade.

When you complete any trade, you should always check your account dashboard to ensure that the trade was completed as you intended. When the trade is complete, you should see a change in your account balance, your holdings and your overall portfolio.
