My Investment Strategy

My method of picking stocks to buy is pretty simple. I first check the history of the company, see how well they've been doing. If the stocks have been down for some time after a high point, it's about time they did something great. If it just went down, something just happened, so why would you buy from it, unless you want a $0.20 increase? If it's going up, buy one quick and sell it when you think it peaks (unless it's the peak, then LOL, sorry.). Of course, it's a little risky, but so is stock exchange.
