When is the best time to buy and sell stocks?

There are a number of strategies. The Haircut is one. For example when the deep water horizon gulf oil rig exploded, BP stock dropped quite a bit on the bad news.

Had you invested 10,000 in BP a few days after that news, you'd have a profit today. Note: BP has not recovered to the levels it was at previously. Often, with bad news based on no financial grounds, value of a security will drop as bad news triggers a panicked sell off.As the market forgets the bad news, the price of the security often returns to near previous levels.

Be careful you CAN lose money with using this strategy.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
