What causes stocks to rise?

When people are buying more than what others are selling.

Simple micro-economics really.

Vice versa, for stocks falling (dont believe all the short selling beat ups)
 
Price - determined by simple supply and demand
Value - determined by future earnings

Short term price will be the main factor to cause a stock to rise, over the long term it will be value that is the main factor.
 
Technically

DEMAND

On the chart often it (demand) jumps out and screams buy me.
Silence is just as easy to pick.
As is confusion.
Plain lack of demand.
Uphoria,Fear,and greed.

P/E's/Directors visions/Future earnings,arent evident as is often the case Fundamentally.
 
Sheep. One starts off & the others follow. When they have eaten most of the feed, one starts off for another paddock & the others follow.
 
So you buy a stock just b/c others are buying it?:confused:

um no.... read the title of the thread you created , i have answered the question , my reasons for buying vary from TA to FA BUT the reason a stock rises is because someone is buying them , i hope this clears this up for you
have a great day

Yep - bad title, your right...:eek:
 
Value?

Perceived value yes. Actual value - not always.

(eg tech boom, tulip bulbs etc)
