Day traders buy and sell the same stocks, sometimes during the same day, sometimes in a week or so, but they usually don't hold the security for the "long term".
Unless the "day trader" has "inside" information, the trader is relying on "old info". Someone, and maybe dozens or thousands of someones, has "had" the info the trader "just received". The people with that info has an opportunity to make moves in anticipation of the "release" of the info. Not a good situation for late information investors.
A "long term" investor, like Warren Buffett, really doesn't care about the day to day fluctuations. Buffett buys (high) quality and seldom sells.
Stock prices fall because new investors don't see the value of the future prospects of the company. To sell, an investor must take less money for the stock.
The best advice I could give you is read about Warren Buffett. Learn to do it as Buffett does it.
You don't sell it back to the company, you sell your stock
through a broker.
Just sell $75,000 of the stock and keep the rest invested.
People buy and sell stocks no matter how high or low
it gets. That's the interesting part of the game.
1. Buyers and sellers (at a price). If there are more buyers than sellers price goes up etc.
2. You cannot sell back to the company unless they are buying.
3.Very muddled question but answer is Yes.
Yes, you sell stock at any time on the open market. you pay tax on the gain.
you can reinvest at any time on the open market. you can make a living doing this as a day trader.
Yes, and that's why a stock "splits".
You have to always remember that the "value" or "price" of a stock is what someone is willing to pay for it.
Market price is based on supply and demand of willing and able buyers and sellers.
I'm new to stocks and im just curious... Say that you buy shares of a stock and its value increases tremendously, like how the Apple stock did when it first began. If the value got too high is it possible that no one would want to buy it because its so high? Or, in that case could you just sell it back to the company. Next question... Say you invest 25,000 in stocks and it rises to 100,000. Could you take out that 100,000, and then reinvest for 25,000 again in that same company for a profit of 75,000?
