Buying Stock from Passed on Information
Passing on information is almost a sport in the meetings where the stock exchange subject is being talked about, given that everybody loves to presume they are experts in the field of stock and shares. In most cases the data that one hears cannot be looked into to prove its validity. The information that is received can be slanted, exaggerated, or worse yet, completely wrong. Even though the story was true, you would never know how many people before you heard it before. In case we were to find ourselves at the end of the information chain, the probability that the price already reflects the impact of this data is greater, and one might end up buying when the share is already old and about to descending of price adjustment. Finally, the person that passes on the data might be interested in causing the price of that share to move in order to obtain personal benefit from it. Therefore, acting in function of the data that is heard, rarely brings about the results that one hopes for and does not constitute a method to assure gains in the market.
Buying stock in its lowest price
This method in itself is very presumptuous, given that it implies that the speculator would know before hand which is going to be the point in which the tendency is to inverse, and the high cycle will begin. The concept of the strategy is valid, but one needs to keep in mind that when the plunge of the price of a stock begins, after having been expensive, it usually goes down to unjustified depths. The panic of the falling of the price triggers new sells that drag new price falls. In this type of situation it is very difficult to predict which would be the minimum price to buy at. Finally, this system is valid if one were sure that after the falling of proportions, that company would be able to recover their levels of interesting prices. The method to buy in the point of inflexion is very difficult to achieve and belongs to the prowess the deceiving stock exchange has.
