Never traded stocks before. But it seems like all you need to do, is buy stocks when a company is going through a big scandal or on a downswing. If it is a big or well established company, inevitably it will go back to normal levels, is that not correct? For instance I would have invested in Facebook on the day we saw it had the lowest stock price ever, because it would inevitably go up from there. And then you just sell when its back to normal. I know it's obviously not that simple, but is it really much more complicated than that?
