Forgive the atrociously dumb question and what I'm about to ask, but I just formulate questions to improve my understanding, I'm not trying to suggest this is possible but rather trying to understand why it's not. I know very little about trading.
If any given stock is more likely to rise than the average stock if it rose x amount the previous day (this is an assumption/question), why couldn't you with the appropriate software take random samples of all the stocks that rose x amount the previous day, and purchase a diverse set of stock each day in companies whose stock rose x amount the day before based on those random samples, and consider this a safe method of getting consistent gains?
