Quick quiz

What Moves a Stock?

Read a headline, guess which way the stock might move, and learn what drives the reaction. Five questions, no timer, about two minutes.

5 headlines

Read the news. Pick the likely direction. Find out why.

Each round shows 5 short news stories about made-up companies. For each one, guess whether the stock is more likely to go up or down, then see the thinking behind it.

Stock prices respond to expectations, not just to news. If investors already expected good results, good news alone might not push a stock up.

No timer, no account, about 2 minutes.

Every company in this quiz is made up, and nothing here is investment advice. Nothing you answer leaves your browser.
