What moves a stock

Losers do not post, sheesh! It's not like you need to know the instrument your are involved with as long as you can make money with no knowledge. You have to be a dummy to be a loser:afterall, this is just too easy to making money trading.

 

I can't get Lucent to move . I want to know the answer too.

 

Thanks guys glad that u find comfort in what little u know never came across a more miserable bunch of losers enjoy

 

Earlybirdstango - thanks for the link

 

a "pip" relates to money, to currencies, to forex, not to stocks.

stocks are priced/valued like this:

$1.00 per share.

money (traded) is priced/valued like this:

$1.0000 per unit.

the underlined zeros are "pips."

hence the value of EUR/USD is $1.1984 per unit.

the value of MSFT is $24.41 per share.

hope this helps, iwealth.

 

Hi FXsKaLpEr, thanks for the post. I do understand what you're saying. In forex trading you have noticed that at certain times of the day the currency moves in one direction (mostly) due to an economic data release. i was simply wondering whether anything similar existed in stocks/CFD's
