And even just in the conference call that will follow an earnings report, where we'll see the executives of the company taking questions from reporters and analysts, that's when we'll see a lot of stock price moves as well.
And then of course, in between earnings reports, any sort of news that affects or potentially affects a company's bottom line, whether we're talking about
A change in leadership, some kind of corporate scandal, run-in with regulators or news of a new deal or partnership between two different companies.
All of those things can cause stock prices to rise or fall as well.
That's right.
And I think that points to just how difficult it can be to predict where a stock is going.
Because even when you think you know everything there is to know about a company, whether it's its earnings reports or how it's valued or what kind of earnings it's expected to report in the future,
there are always extraneous factors in the market that can influence where a stock is going.
And in the case of GameStop, we definitely saw that that was a case where social media really had a lot to do with its move upward.
We were hearing from a lot of retail investors at the time that they were invested in the stock, not because they felt like GameStop had
some kind of, you know, industry winning strategy that it was planning to roll out or, you know, some kind of big turnaround plan.
But because they were seeing it really just go up so much and they thought, oh, this is kind of fun.
So it's not always the case that, you know, things like earnings or hard news drives the stocks movement, especially these days, we can see social media can play a really big role in it as well.
One broad characterization of stocks is whether they're growth or value.
And that's something that investors tend to have very strong opinions about.
And growth stocks tend to be things that grow faster than average.
And they tend to be companies these days, especially in the technology sector, a lot of their profits, they tend to reinvest into themselves.
So whether that's in research or development, that tends to be their focus as far as cash flow.
And in recent years, these types of stocks have been pretty highly valued.
So think of things like Tesla, Facebook and Amazon.
