How do I know the perfect time to buy stock?

[One Man Freak Show]

I want to buy stock in Mattel and Wal-Mart before Black Friday and make some money. caterpie; The last share of Mattel sold was only $22. I could buy a few. Can anyone say Tickle Me Elmo?

Tickle Me Elmo.

To answer the question posed in the title, throw some dice at a dartboard, then resort to a ouija board.

I doubt black friday would do much for stock prices.


The price of a stock has more to do with how many people are buying/selling stocks, than it does with how much stuff is being sold. 

Sales do have somewhat of an effect on stock prices, but only because they show up in the financial reports of the business so people will rush to invest then.

Snorkel kinda gained a lot of money for investing in Apple (before the iPhone) and Nintendo (Before the Wii)

I've often considered investing, but then I remember that I don't really have enough money to invest, so I couldn't really make much of a profit, if any.
