how does one make more in the stock market?

Example: so WWE stock jumped almost 20% today. If I had $1 million in the stock I would have made about $200,000 right? How do I make more than that by buying back what I sold (?), but then again I'd be buying that stock at higher price than when I bought it pre-20% increase (i.e. when I bought it at $10 a share before it jumped to $12 a share). Is there a trick to making more or it's simply wait for it to go down then buy, then when it's high, sell again, then repeat process all day?
Wouldn't it be cool if the process is if you bought the stock at $10, and it jumps to $12, you can buy it at $10 repeatedly and get 20% each time you sell. LOL. I'd make a killing. LOL.

Cooper just hit 2.50 down from 3 bucks. Time to buy? No, China building is going to fail, and they can then strip cooper out of the vacant buildings for generations.

Copper should be time to buy since it's down. It'll rise up at some point. I'm curious what the ticker symbol of copper, gold or silver is?

There isn't a ticker since you cannot simply trade shares of gold, silver, or copper. You can track such commodities through ETFs such as GLD or SLV (there's more, these are just examples). Personally, if I were to trade in such commodities, I would pay attention to future contracts of the commodity as this will determine the spot price at any given moment.
And a hint: you don't make more in the stock market. Not simply and not easily. Greed gets you nothing, you take profits when and where you can. Don't chase, don't try to buy back in (unless that is part of your well practiced strategy).

I'm a big fan of dividend investing in companies with extremely good cashflow and balance sheets.
Sometimes you luck out and hit 5 or 10% in one day, but its much more satisfying to pull like 30% over the whole year with a balanced diversified portfolio. Its easier than watching the markets every business day too.

I've been accumulating positions in LINE and NE over the past month, both high dividend payers in the oil and gas industry (onshore and off) that appear to be creating a low base. These are not stocks I intend to trade around in, but stocks I intend to sit on for at least a year or two (and possibly much longer) as oil stabilizes.

I'd imagine making money through the stock market wouldn't be to hard if you applied yourself enough and where actively follow the various markets, after all the jist of it is buy up alot of extremely cheap stocks in a company, constantly monitor any rises and fall's in that stocks price, and then sell when you've doubled or tripled what you invested.
Eventually when i have more disposable income i hope to get involved in buying and selling stock, the first australian medical cannabis company ended up quadrupling there stock price in the first few days from 20cents to 80 cent's. It's just about knowing what's going to be a popular/profitable move in regards to which stocks you buy and sell.

well yeah as the saying goes the rich gets richer, even if the rise is just 1% you'll make money. If you have a million bucks in the stock and it rose just 1%, that's 10K for nothing. I'm sure if you're wealthy you can gamble.

Question, if I didn't touch my mutual funds or stocks, would I still need to report this to the IRS when I file my tax?
If general rule is NO, then yearly I can just shred this garbage that comes to my mailbox.

Yeah it's still considered income. The IRS treats all income as taxable, and every cent you make needs to be accounted for when tax time comes around.
Making money with stocks isn't easy or hard. It really is just about patience and knowing what to do. Right now I can say that my portfolio overall has a 58% return. I'm pretty proud of this but within one day that could all change. The thing about stocks is looking at the value of a company. There is a lot of sayings that I go by that have really helped me pick some good stocks. The best one is to look a the company first, then look at the management second. A good company will run itself, no matter how terrible management is. You will always have people complaining about a companies management and use that as a basis to bash a stock. Ignore that. The best example is companies like apple bees. Usually they are run by terrible management but the system works.
My favorite sector is biopharm/pharm/drug development. I have a b.s. degree in biochem so I just review the clinical trials and make my picks via the scientists and the articles. You can usually tell when a drug will do well. They also get gobbled up by bigger pharma companies and that's where the payouts are (actavis, pfizer, teva).. These are all stocks that you usually hold long term.
I also use the nasdaq 12 evaluation method before purchasing a stock if possible. If it passes then I look into the basics.
Companies like disney, EA sports, and such are usually solid investments where you can just let your cash sit and build. They are pricey though.

^Biotechnology companies are in general much riskier than most stocks. However, with risks comes great (potential) return.
When you are just starting off, do a lot of research and perhaps stick to stocks that have dividend yield and slow, steady growth. Then, when you are more comfortable with gaining insight from your research, move to specialty sectors such as healthcare/pharma/biotech, oil/energy/natural gas, etc.

where do you view clinical trials? you won't really know which company in the stock market will license the drug just by the clinical trial data would you? The minute it gets picked up by a giant pharmaceutical the stock price is already too high. I think the FDA has its say as well. I simply look at their website sometimes to see what drugs are for what and when it will hit the market and which company owns the drugs and if they have a stock symbol. I wish I had the money to gamble though. LOL.
Almost any good news about the drugs and its makers will make the stock price jump and the FDA seem to dictate what gets passed and approved.

CLIT, if you've been following Geokill's stock thread, you'd have noticed that i got lucky with DYAX recently. They've got a meeting in a few days where they'll talk about Q1 results; 30 days ago they got very very promising test results for a new drug they're developing; and they're hoping to go straight from Stage 1 to Stage 3 in the FDA approval process on the coattails of their good outcome (might not be called "stage" might be called "step" or some other shit. i read it a while back).
The stock's up a huge huge amount in the last year, so a lot of that price increase is gone; but who knows - if their drug really is as good as they think it might be, it could travel more
i pulled out cuz i wanted to take my profit and keep my cash.

How about have 1 million, borrow 1 million from your broker, then double the leverage. And if you qualify for "portfolio margin" you can even get higher leverage. So you can loose 2 or 3 times faster.
