Is engaging in stocks without researching unwise?
Stock recommendations and price history are an unwise way to invest. People that recommend stocks are usually compensation for recommending it. They are paid directly by third parties, that can be paid in shares, they can simply own the stock themselves and if the stock goes up they can sell it to new investors at a higher price (or even a lower price, they may not actually care) Price history does not tell you a complete picture, what kind of price history are you even looking at: "this stock went up, let me buy now at the very top and hope it goes higher, am I too late" "this stock went down let me avoid it" if you don't know why, what, who, when, assets, debt, etc, you shouldn't be buying the stock.
