>1. Do your research on the company and the stock before investing. Look at things like financial statements, news stories, analyst ratings, and insider buying/selling activity to get a sense of whether or not a particular stock is a good investment. 2. Be aware of the risks involved in any investment you make. Stocks are risky because their prices can go up or down rapidly, so you could lose money if you don't know what you're doing. Make sure you understand the risks before investing your hard-earned cash! 3

>1) The price differences are due to supply and demand. If there is more demand for a stock, the price will go up. Conversely, if there is less demand, the price will go down. 2) If someone closes their position in Amazon stock, it will be closed at whatever the current market value is at that time. So if the stock was at $100 when they bought it, but then falls to $99 before they close their position, they would lose money. 3) You can make money by buying and selling stocks as long as you buy low and sell high. So even if a stock falls in value after you purchase it, you could still profit from selling it later on if the overall trend is upward (and vice versa). It all depends on timing. 4) All platforms have different prices for stocks because each one has its own order book with different bids and asks from buyers and sellers respectively

>If you're looking to make quick gains with a small investment, then options trading is definitely the way to go. Options are contracts that give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price within a certain time frame. This means that you can control a large amount of stock for a relatively small amount of money.

However, options trading is also very risky and complex, so it's important to do your research and understand all the risks involved before getting started. There are plenty of resources out there on options trading - just Google it and you'll find tons of articles, videos, etc.

>I agree that the sell-off on Monday was mostly due to profit-taking, but I think there is also a lot of underlying anxiety about the Fed's interest rate decision and Big Tech earnings this week. If either of these disappointments triggers further selling, it could be difficult for the S&P500 to hold its former downtrend resistance and 200-day MA. From a technical standpoint, this would signal that the index may not be able to sustain its recent recovery from October lows.
