- 分析下述論證中存在的缺陷和漏洞，選擇若干要點，寫一篇600字左右的文章，對該論證的有效性進行分析和評論。（論證有效性分析的一般要點是：概念特別是核心概念的界定和使用是否準確并前后一致，有無各種明顯的邏輯錯誤，論證的論據是否成立并支持結論，結論成立的條件是否充分等等。） 如果你要從股市中賺錢，就必須低價買進股票，高價賣出股票，這是人人都明白的基本道理。但是問題的關鍵在于如何判斷股票價值的高低。只有正確的判斷股價的高低，上述的基本道理才有意義，否則就毫無實用價值。 股價的高低是一個相對的概念，只有通過比較才能顯現。一般來說，要正確判斷一支股票的高低，唯一的途徑就是看它的歷史表現。但是有人在判斷當前某一股票的高低時，不注重股票的歷史表現，而是注重股票今后的走勢，這是一種危險的行為，因為股票的歷史表現是一種客觀事實，客觀事實具有無可爭辯的確定性；股票的今后走勢只是一種主觀預測，主觀預測具有極大的不確定性。我們怎么可以只憑主觀預測而不顧客觀事實呢? 再說，股價的未來走勢充滿各種變數，它的漲和跌不是必然的，而是或然的。我們只能借助概率進行預測。假如宏觀經濟、市場態勢和個人股表現均好，它的上漲概率就大；假如宏觀經濟、市場態勢和個股表現均不好，它的上漲概率就?。患偃绾暧^經濟、市場態勢和個股表現不相一致，它的上漲概率就需要酌情而定。 由此可見，要從股市獲取利益，第一是要掌握股價漲跌的概率，第二還是要掌握股價漲跌的概率，第三也還是要掌握股價漲跌的概率。掌握了股價漲跌的概率，你就能賺錢；否則，你就會賠錢。
