What makes stocks go up and down?
Success in financial markets requires curiosity, flexibility, and adaptation. And it requires the ability to tell the difference between what works in theory and how things actually work in the real world. One of the greatest investors of all time tells a story that sums it all up.

When I first started out, I did very thorough papers covering every aspect of a stock or industry. Before I could make the presentation to the stock selection committee, I had to submit the paper to the research director. I particularly remember the time I gave him my paper on the banking industry. I felt very proud of my work. However, he read through it and said, “This is useless. What makes the stock go up and down?”

That experience taught Stan to search for the factors that were strongly correlated to a stock’s price movement rather than looking only at the fundamentals. That’s what we do at Spectra Markets and that’s what Think Like a Market Professional will show you how to do.
