Stock speculation

Stock speculation is the practice of buying and selling stocks with the aim of making a profit based on short-term price movements rather than the company's long-term performance. Speculators often analyze market trends, news, and other factors to predict fluctuations in stock prices. This approach can be risky, as it relies on market timing and investor sentiment, which can be unpredictable. Unlike traditional investing, which focuses on long-term growth and value, speculation emphasizes quick gains, making it a volatile and high-stakes aspect of the financial markets.
