1)  What causes a stock to go up or down in the short term ( a day or a week, for example) ?  

2) What causes a stock to go up or down over the long term ( a few years) ?  

3) If a stock goes down, does that increase the odds that it will go up ?  

I have a strong impression that the ones of you who post the most in this thread don't know the answers to these questions.
