No, not really.
Share prices are based upon supply/demand. And that depends on what people think the share price is going to do. Value of the company or product is only part, and a small part at that.
If a share price is 5, and I think it will be 15 next week, then I will pay upto 10 to get it.
Many people think money is made from buying shares that increase in value thus increasing the amount of money you have. What's known as a real estate sale.
In fact the real money is made by predicting what the price is going to do and getting ahead of the curve, irrespective of how valid a change that is.
It doesn't matter if the price goes up or down, the *only* time when money is not made is when the price does not change.
