Anoop | Is it wise to buy shares when they drop like crazy expecting them to regain soon!? |
I mean I was playing virtual trade and I picked the biggest loser of the day and bought 1000 shares. next day they came back to their original price and I made a fortune. i wish I had used real money instead. Is it wise to do that often? |

People have tried the "dead cat" approach before. You make money 90% of the time, but the other 10% you lose everything. Overall it is a losing approach |

No. Day trading is a dangerous game; anticipating the action of a stock or the market in general (know as market timing) is best left for professionals who aren't very good at it either, unless you have money you're prepared to lose.
Years ago I tried "virtual trading" for several months and figured I had the wisdom and experience to go live after many successes. Wrong...If you've got the money to burn at least use the services of a broker (I'm not one by the way). |

A lot of people use the stock market as a guessing game. Guess what, a lot of those people lose money all the time.
The stock market is just like any other business, it is a little bit more complicated, but with experience and knowledge, you can make huge amounts of money. There is a mechanism & strategy (plan), minimizing losses, being an excellent money manager, discipline and patience are all traits for being a winner in the stock market. |

Only if you research the company and make an informed choice. Buying just because they've dropped makes no sense at all.
I tried the same thing with real money with 2 stocks; after holding onto one stock for a couple years it shot through the roof for some unknown reason and I made a handsome profit. The other stock dropped, dropped, dropped and dropped some more, I finally had to write it off as a loss (WorldComm - the wonderful people who went bankrupt and came back to life as MCI). All in all I came out ahead, but I will never make another uninformed investment in my life and niether should you. |

I usually watch around 100 stocks. Occassionally I see a stock that sells off a lot. Usually there are some news stories to explain the selloff. If I think the stock has sold off too much then I will buy. This is what happened with Primewest, PWI. they are a natural gas company. They are paying a great dividend now after a recent selloff, so I bought some.

Absolutely not.
You really need to know WHY the stock went down. Did the fundamentals of the stock change, or did an analyst just get a bug up their ##@$?
If a good stock in a good industry goes down for no good reason, then it amy be a good buy. A bad stock that drops in price isn't a bargain. |

I call it buying something on sale. for me it has to be a reputable company with lots of extra $$$ in the bank. Harley Davidson is one of them. Loblaws went through an expansion and people panicked, and the price went down. they are not making less money, there just adjusting to the massive investment they just made. I bought when the price dropped. I'd be careful about what company to do that with. It's better to go for big profitable companies like Microsoft, Johnson and Johnson etc... hope this helps |

Sometime it is wise to buy when others are panicking. There are many examples of this, see http://ibooyah.com - check out the post on YHOO, MOT, and PFE. They fit into this line of question. |
