If people knew when a stock was going to go up, we would be rolling in millionares and maybe there would not be all of these forclosures now. On second though there probably would. People love to take risks. Back to the question. There are two types of stock analysts--technical analysts and fundamental analysts. Technical analysts think that you can determine when a stock is going to go up by looking at the chart of the stock. They might very well have an excellent point. If enough technical analysts are looking at a particular stock chart it is sort of a self fulfilling profecy.
Fundamental analysts on the other hand tend to analyze the company's fundaments and try to determine whether the company's stock is a bargain compared to the alternatives. If they find a bargain, they buy it. Warren Buffet is consider by most to be the current guru of fundamental investing, so much so that people just buy what he buys. Nice to have such a great reputation. Buy a stock, tell people you bought it, wait for them to bid it up then sell. Great way to make money.
I never know if a stock is going to go up or not. I am a fundamental analyst. I buy stocks that I think might be undervalued and wait. Sometimes I hit the jackpot. Sometimes I am in for a disappointment, perhaps a big disappointment. When I say undervalued, I do not particularly mean that they appear cheap today, but looking at what the future holds do they appear cheap in relation to what their future might hold?
Interestingly, a mutual fund with an absolutely supurb record is Fidelity Contra Fund. It buys stocks that are not doing too well and waits for them to do better. I have no idea how they do it. Lousy stocks turn me off. |

A stock may go up if there is a catalyst. For example, Mosaic will report earning tomorrow and if it delivers above expectation, then stock may pop, else it may tank. The trick is you have to research and make your own decision if the bull case for the stock is real or not.
After Mosaic reported fantastic result, stock pops up 10% in one day!!! |

In my opinion, the best thing to do first is to get a free trend analysis of your stock or stocks and then decide where to go next. http://www.ino.com/info/88/CD894/&dp=0&l=0&beanievilletrend |

You right - you can follow the trends, if a stock is trending down, you shouldn't buy. As they say "Never trade against the trend"
You can buy those stocks in idustries that are in favor at the time you're buying

You have to do your homework and find a reason why you believe the stock will go up. |

You never know and thats just it. Nobody can predict it. I have stocks that go up on bad news and down on good news. It's crazy but part of the game. Don't try timing the market because it can't be done. Do research and then invest. |
