I just wanted to clarify one thing.

If people tend to buy stock when its cheap and sell it when it is high to make a profit, who's buying stock when it is expensive then?

I don't get that.

 

Also, I see many people literally collecting stock. They just buy it and that's it. I don't get it. The fact someone is a stock holder, makes that person earn money on a long term basis? If yes, how?
