So I've heard that there is serious possible money to be made on the stock market. There are entire courses online dedicated to teaching people how to trade on the stock market and how not to lose money. However, I've had one huge question that's been plaguing me since I first heard of the stock market.
Can it really be that simple?
My entire knowledge of the stock market begins and ends with “Buy low, sell high.” You buy a stock when it's at a low point, and when you feel it's high enough to make profit, sell it. But if this is true, then how are people losing money in the stock market so often?
If there was a meme coin that was made yesterday, only valued at $.00001, you bought in, say, $5,000 worth of the coin, and then the coin doubles in value to just $.00002, could you not sell those stocks and now have $10,000?
And why do people invest in small stocks? The way I see it, there is very little reason to invest in a small company's stocks that might plummet permanently in the next week. Why would you not, instead, invest in a company that is simply too big to fail? Like Microsoft or Amazon, which will almost certainly only climb in price over our lifetimes?
