Ticky

Thank you very much for this eye-opening thread! I just got started with trading stocks and stumbled on to this forum; reading this made me sign up to interact. I have a question, which may be completely obvious, or completely unanswerable. Do you have a reason as to why this tends to be the case? Does it come down to human pattern, or what? I also have a more general question, and perhaps this is not the correct thread to be asking in, but here goes anyways: I think this is the most basic part of stock trading that is also the most mind-boggling to me. I spend days sitting here, watching the charts move up and down, treating it as some magical, almost random entity. How exactly does supply and demand come into play here? If this warrants its own thread, I would be glad to start one.
