Should You Buy Stocks at a 52-Week High?
It depends on how you invest if you should buy a stock at its 52-week high.
If you want to invest for the long term, you should consider about more than just the price of the stock. You should think about how powerful the business is, how well it does, and how much room it has to grow. Breakouts are great for traders, but they need to be careful and not take too many risks. Buying stocks just because their prices are going up is not a smart approach. It’s best to use both technical and fundamental analysis before making a decision.
