The Share Market is a fascinating place which literally makes my head spin.
Evand is indeed correct with
Buy shares at any price and sell them at any price higher, Its that simple
As is Kristine with
And off the top of my head, Dazz & Marg with
To lose weight
If only it were that simple
The more I learn about the share market, the less I know and the further down the rabbit hole I disappear.
The markets consist of many different people, all with different views, experience resources and insight's; many of those opposing their counterparts
There are also those sitting on the sidelines not revealing their hands and waiting to pounce and in the background computers and automatic systems silently and continuously scan, waiting for pre-set triggers to be hit before they activate
Being a conspiracy theorist on the markets, I'm also assuming big business is plotting their next move to take advantage of the 99%'s to recover some of their massive losses encountered whilst drunk at the wheel
I'd watch the market depth, but as per the previous there are many participants sitting on the sidelines and sellers are oft wont to trickle-feed sales, rather than sell lump sums. They may also wait for willing buyers to show their hands before putting their goods on sale
The butterfly effect also takes place, with some random butterfly in greater mongolia flapping its wings and instigating the formation of a cyclone off the coast of Indonesia. By that I mean, news of the world, rumours, competitors situations, industry announcements, a major player changing their view or strategy and general reading of the bones can all affect a share price without ryhme or reason, it doesn't have to be rational, there maybe rules but I either cannot find them, or cannot read font size .01
Somebody sells a large parcel of shares due to a need for cash elsewhere within their business or someone is settling a deceased estate, prices drop slightly and some market mad analyst who is snacking on guarana biscuits and wired on coffee and red-bull chasers thinks its a sign of the three horsemen approaching also gets on board, the market drops again, others jump on board, the market drops again, stop-losses and triggers are fired, the market drops again.....
Bargain hunters, value investors and traders may step in at any point along this journey or subsequent uptrend if/as/when it fits their strategy, or just possibly ..........some blissfully unaware joe bloe receives cash from a settled estate or payment of a business debt, decides to invest it into the stock market and the whole cycle reverses
Me I'm still working out how to maximize my returns and minimize my losses and how to work a trade size calculator, whilst watching the ticker-tape flicker from green to red and back in amazement
Madness...
and highly entertaining, you gotta love it
