That is why investors tell the avg. Joe, who doesn't have the time or knowledge, to invest in mutual funds.
That way you are paying a (small) fee for professionals to do all the research, and there is also less risk due to diversity.

Stocks don't usually jump that drastically. It sounds like you're looking for a get rich quick flip and that very likely will not be the case. You should consider stocks an investment, most of which you won't see any meaningful benefits from for a long period of time.
To clarify, stock price and company profits are not necessarily related. The stock price is tied to demand. More folks want to buy the stock, it goes up. More folks want to sell it, it goes down.So like, let's just say that Apple shares/stocks are $100. If I buy a share, and then Apple's profits are doing well, will I earn money?
And then will I earn money if I then sell that stock? Or if the stock prices go up?
Is it this simple guys?
Because I've been paying attention to the video game industry and its market trends over the past 3-4 years - I've spent more time looking at sales and companies than I've had actually playing games themselves, so I'm quite knowledgeable about that industry and could buy shares in Nintendo if the NX looks good
So is it this simple guys?
Sure, if a company releases it's earnings and they're better than expected, people TEND to buy the stock and it goes up. But the stock price doesn't automatically go up because the company exceeded expected profits.
The average individual stock buyer either tries to anticipate short term market movement or trails stock price increases/decreases. In both cases, you're likely not to do well. Don't try to ride bandwagons. If you see a stock price rising over a short time, you likely already missed that wave and end up buying high, the opposite of what you want to do. The opposite is true. Folks will own a stock, see the price dropping and sell, again, the opposite of what you want to do.
My advice is to buy for a long term hold. Good companies tend to do well over time, so their stock price tends to rise long term. Bad news or bad earnings for a quarter may knock the price down for a short while. The key is holding onto the stocks you believe in so yo don't miss when it rebounds.
So If I wanted to make $30 a day doing this, would I need to be glued to my computer? I mean say I invested $500- $1000. Could I make a couple moves in the day and earn $30? $30x30 = 900, that wouldnt be too shabby to start out with.

OP, if you were able to predict the Pokemon Go craze before it occurred (around June), you could have made a killing!
Nintendo shares doubled between July 6 and July 19th
But it takes money to make money.
How much more or less? 5, 10 g's
theoretically...for the MOST part stocks only go up demand > supply for those shares. This tends to happen if a company's profits, revenue and/or free cash flow are better than expected or if future expectations of those metrics rise (depending on how the company is valued)
what causes those expectations to rise is a mixture of economic data and company related factors. thats to put it simply though.
economic data can span from anywhere from commodity prices to currency fluctuations to interest rates and shyt
company related factors can span anywhere from new product launches to legal issues to supply chain related information etc.
it's deep. if you're not doing your research you're gambling. it's that simple.
and truth be told...it probably starts with understanding interest rates

nope. the market expects the iphone to sell well.Basically. like every fall the iPhone always sells like crazy with its new model
The best time to buy apple stocks are in April ish-August months so then we the new iPhone kills in sales your make a decent profit cuz you know the stock price will sky rocket if the product sells well
That's why with stocks you need to pay attention to what's coming out etc...
If the market expects 15 million units to be sold first week and only 14.5 million units are sold the stock will take a hit.

Lol... this is terrible advice
The iphone is already priced into the market as soon as the release is dropped. The stock price isn't a representative directly on how the company is doing, it's simply demand on ownership of the company. Why would the price go up if the Iphone release was already known by everyone else to be a probable success? If the Iphone had big problems then betting against it is a closer bet as people may sell their stocks.
Company success/failure doesn't necessarily dictate the stock price directly. Don't give financial advice breh on stuff you aren't sure about.
When I say the shares doubled, I mean the price. So if you spent 10g's you would have been able to double that (minus fees).
This, however, is not normal for established companies.
Stock prices are usually stable and rise (or fall) incrementally over time, unless something big happens, good or bad.
That is why stocks should be purchased and held for long term growth, instead of for speculating because large price swings can be very unpredictable.

If you've never invested, be careful when you start. Commissions on trades can add up if you don't have a large starting capital.
It's not as simple as a popular video game coming out, or a popular phone coming out will increase a companies market value. Big investors don't invest based on that. Companies need a catalyst when they are as big as a company like Apple. Their marker share tends to go DOWN after their iPhone releases.

What you looking at?
I'm going base on what my cousin told me (he's a CPA) 4 years ago
but that's part of it another part of it islooking at a company statements is the most important part of this
Don't go based on hype go check their financials to see if in the long term will they be profitable, make your decision there
what breh? Less than 6 months ago nintendo stocks sitting at $14 after pokemon go it reached mid 20s, even if you invested 1k you would have made quite a bit of money just through the investment. There's not too many avenues to make money legally like stocks. It's a gamble
