Mate the share market does not go up or down in a straight line. You have to look at the charts for the company. The big boys got lists of money and sell fraction of their shares to scare the small investors to force then to sell. You have to pick a company with a good future and buy shares of that company for a long time to be certain of making money. The big boys like to hear the small investors scream and they keep dropping the price. A classic example was Fmg. It is a good company the big boys shorted it to drop the price from $7.00 to $3.00 over a period of 1.5 years. Then the let it go up. I went from $3.50 up to $6.80 in 2 months.
