Buying/selling/trading

Sales take place amongst unequals.
Buyers and sellers are adversaries to each other. Some of their aims and intents will be at cross purposes to their counterpart.

Even though they are unequals ... buyers and sellers ... the one who carries the greatest weight, has more power, tips the scale (for lack of better phrases) will vary with the particulars of each transaction?

So ... one day ... the buyer can wield the power ... and one day ... it could be the seller?

Love You!

Depends on the market.

Let's take stocks for example.
If there are more sellers than buyers in the market, the price of the stock will drop until buyers can be enticed back into the market.
If there are more buyers than sellers in the market, the price will rise until sellers can be enticed back into the market.

There is also supply and demand.

Markets go through cycles of being buyer markets and seller markets.

When supply is strong and demand is weak prices drop.
When supply is weak and demand is strong prices rise.

When supply is weak and demand is weak there is equilibrium.
When supply is strong and demand is strong there is equilibrium.

Depending on the market, it is to your advantage to be counter cyclical to it.
This is the case with markets such as stocks, bonds, and more.

This is the case of being greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy.
Stockpiling cash during good times will allow you to take advantage of being a contrarian.

For other markets, it pays to shop around for the best price, quality, and/or weight.
Again buying in bulk can save you money.

Those people who deal in buying and selling items to make a profit without participation in production are called traders or merchants.
Traders or merchants make their profit off the differential between the buy and sell price of the product.

Another pointer to successful buying or selling is to purchase from a motivated buyer or motivated seller.

Such a person is more inclined to buy or sell at a price more agreeable to your offer.
