Q: Stock prices can be volatile over the course of a day or week. To get a better idea of the stock's performance and growth (or lack thereof), you should look at a longer time period, like a month or year. In addition, try comparing its growth over these period with that of the market. You can use the S&P 500 for these comparisons. Check if it was up when the market was down, or vice versa. This can give you an idea of how the stock will perform over time.  You can also find more long term financial information by studying the company's financial statements, which are available from both the SEC and usually on the company's website.  For more, see how to research a stock. . Day-trading is different from investing in that day-trading focuses on the short term and is very risky. A day-trader stands to lose significant amounts of money if the bets that they make on the market are wrong or if trading fees eat up all of their gains. In theory, a day-trader could identity patterns that lead to rises or falls in the price of a stock and then profit from these predictions. However, in practice this is very difficult and many day-traders end up losing money and exiting the market.  Investors buy securities and hold them for long periods of time with the expectations that they will earn value slowly. Day-traders look for quick jumps and falls in value in the same day or week and trade quickly. Even if trend and pattern analyses are made properly and conservatively, there is still risk that you will lose money on your trades. Be warned that you stand to lose a considerable amount of money if you try to engage in day-trading. . If you do decide to day-trade, the simplest type of pattern you can identify is a price trend. Look for uptrends and downtrends in the price of a stock over daily and weekly periods. However, keep in mind that just because a stock is rising now does not mean it will continue to do so tomorrow, or even in the next few minutes. Another way to identify trends is to study the market itself and the global financial system. Look for relevant news that could move the price of a stock or affect the stability of an industry or economy. Trend identification, along with the rest of the patterns mentioned, is part of what is known as technical analysis, which assesses market trends to help traders make trade decisions. Support and resistance are terms used by traders to identify prices that a stock usually does not move below or above, respectively. That is, if a stock often gets close to surpassing $40 over a period of time, but never does, the stock has a "resistance" at $40. Identifying these levels for a given stock will help you identify prices that the stock will likely not surpass or fall under. Traders also use several other more complex patterns to identify shifts in price trends. One the most common of these is the head and shoulders pattern. This pattern is formed when a high is reached (the left shoulder) and then the price drops temporarily only to be replaced with a high even higher than the first one (the head). Then, after another temporary drop, another peak (the right shoulder) is reached that is not as high the head. This pattern identifies the end of a upwards trend in the value of the stock. After this pattern, the price is expected to decline. The lows between the head and two shoulders can also be used to draw a "neckline" that identifies the point at which you should certainly sell the stock.
A: Look at the big picture. Understand the risks of day-trading Identify trends Look for support and resistance. Identify head and shoulders patterns.

Q: Doc Martens were originally designed as work boots, and though there are now more styles, colors, and patterns than before, you can still wear them to work. Select a basic pair of Docs, such as the “Icon 7B10 Steel Toe,” and pair them with thick socks and your work uniform. During those winter months full of rain and snow, Doc Martens will keep your feet warm and dry. Choose a neutral color, like black, brown, or navy, and pair them with thick socks and your favorite jeans. Add a flannel shirt or a sweater in a complementary color to finish off the look. Doc Martens are available in several patterns, including “Union Jack,” neon “Daze,” and “Darcy Floral.” These boots can transform an ordinary outfit to an extraordinary style. Tuck skinny jeans into the boots and add a basic white t-shirt. Add a pair of bright socks in a complementary color. To add interest to your Doc Marten shoes, get rid of those boring laces and replace with with neon or patterned ones. For example, choose a patent-leather Doc Marten shoe, and swap the laces for black and white polka-dot ribbons. Pair them with black leggings and a long, white sweater.
A: Wear steel-toed Doc Martens as work boots. Pair neutral Docs with jeans for an everyday style. Choose a patterned pair to add interest to your outfit. Swap out the laces for colored or patterned ones.

Q: Sometimes, sensitivity is a product of having people be especially harsh or mean to you, or abandoning you, in the past. Consider your childhood, teen years, and later experiences (if any).   Past experiences with rejection, judgment, and abandonment may make you especially sensitive to these things. People with overly critical parents or guardians may end up especially sensitive as a result (and may show signs of anxiety or depression). Untangling some of these feelings might help you understand why you feel this way. What are you afraid of? Why are you so afraid of it? Think about it. This can stir up intense emotions, including buried ones, so expect to take weeks, months, or years to work on this problem, with plenty of breaks if you get overwhelmed.  Talking to a counselor or therapist may help. People’s opinions and behaviors are just that. We become more susceptible to someone’s opinions if we are feeling doubtful and placing too much of our own self-worth on the opinions and actions of others. When you are confident in your abilities, another person’s rude behavior or negative opinion will be less likely to affect you. Feeling proud and confident in your own skills is more important than the passing opinions of others.   Write a list of your strengths and abilities to remember what your strong points are.   Make a list of things or moments that you’re proud of. Reward yourself for these good things. Think about the sorts of skills that you demonstrate during these moments. How can you do more of those things? This will help build your self-confidence. Contributing and helping others feels very rewarding and gives you a sense of purpose. This contributes greatly to feelings of self-confidence. Remind yourself of your benefits and contributions to others around you.  Consider volunteering your time at a hospital, school event, local humane society, or website like wikiHow. Having things to work towards give you a sense of self-worth and purpose. This includes things you’d like to improve on or advance in.  Next, take each goal and break it into smaller steps. How can you begin working towards that goal? What little thing could you do now? If you're especially sensitive to how people treat you and you often overreact, you might have a strong radar for rejection. You worry that you're doing something wrong if you pick up on any kind of displeasure, and you want to fix it. However, it is important to understand that just because someone isn't happy with you doesn't mean you've done something wrong. In many cases, it means that person isn't happy with themselves and expects you to fill in the blanks (which is impossible).  Consider playing rejection therapy to gently increase your tolerance of rejection. If you think that you respond too sensitively to other people’s comments, you might benefit from talking about things with a counselor. This person can help you identify issues that lend to your hypersensitivity. They can also suggest strategies for coping when you interact with negative people.  Sometimes, extreme sensitivity is a sign of a disorder such as C-PTSD.
A:
Consider if anything in your life caused you to be more sensitive. Take time to think about why you feel and react this way. Write a list of your strengths. Remind yourself of how you help others. Write a list of goals. Remind yourself that you don't need anyone's approval. Try talking to a mental health counselor.
