Be aware that the stock market is a game of "dumb money" (casual investors) and "smart money" (hedge fund managers, HFT groups, bots watching info feeds, and 'insiders'). How does one determine the 'true' value of a share of stock? — what is the current perceived market value of that stock and how are anticipated influences going to change that perceived market value? I don't trade as I believe it's a bit rigged in favor of HFT & hedge funds with deep insider sources. [1] [2] I'd recommend investing in tangible business assets and infastructure. Do something real, make real things happen.
