Yes you are on Mars. Stocks move in unnatural cycles. I was going to write a book about this. But the analyst game is the edging process that keeps stocks moving. A firm understanding of the hope and promise and hype of that corner of the market will treat you well.
Daytrading is not gambling. You are taking a pre supposed set of facts and adding an impetuous, a reason for move- From there the market moves in familiar ways.
So the source of the news the ranking of that analyst the amount of the move two notches or one and the reasoning is it an upgrade before earnings or a catalyst on the way.
all of this helps
