Stock speculation

[edit]

@MiauZou: I have removed your recent addition about stock speculation for several reasons:

  1. It contains information that does not appear correct. The price of stocks is not a matter of supply and demand; the supply of a company's stock is generally a fixed quantity (discounting for stock splits). Rather, the price of stocks relies more on the public's perception of the value of the company. The supply of stock available for sale may increase as sellers look to divest of a particular stock, but this is not true supply/demand pricing.
  2. The entire paragraph relies on a single citation (to Practical Trend Analysis, p. 50-52) which discusses a completely different topic ("magical thinking" in stock investing).
  3. The paragraph is replete with grammar errors and sentence fragments. This last could be repaired, but is not worth the effort given the other two shortcomings.
