You don’t need a stock to go up to make money.
You need it to move.
Here’s lesson one. A stock sits at $10, runs to $20, then falls right back to $10.
Buy and hold and you’re flat. Started at $10, ended at $10. Nothing earned.
Now run it with a rule. Put in $1,000 — half in the stock, half in cash.
At $10 → 50 shares, $500 in cash.
It hits $20. Your shares are now worth $1,000, cash still $500. The stock side got too big, so you trim it back to balance: sell $250 worth. Now $750 in stock, $750 in cash.
It falls back to $10. Your stock side is worth only $375 now. Too small, so you add $187.50 — buying back in while it’s cheap.
Round over. You’re holding $1,125.
Same stock. Same price it started and ended at. You made 12.5% on movement alone.
This isn’t a trick. It only works because the price actually moved both ways. No movement, no harvest.
That’s the foundation everything sits on. The market doesn’t have to be right. It just has to move.
More lessons coming.
