What you’ll learn
The Goal: Traders aim to "buy low and sell high." They profit if the price of the stock increases between the time they buy it and the time they sell it.
The Market: Trading happens on exchanges like the NYSE or NASDAQ. Prices are driven by supply and demand: if more people want to buy a stock than sell it, the price goes up.
Analysis: Traders use Technical Analysis (studying price charts and patterns) or Fundamental Analysis (studying company earnings and news) to predict where the price will go next.
