    In buying stocks, bid is the price at which buyers are willing to buy, while offer is the price at which sellers are willing to sell. These can be found in the stock order book.

    Also, the best time to buy stocks is during recession, e.g economy breakdown. Stocks are best bought when it is dropping.

    It is imperative to study the support and resistance level of stocks. The support level is the price a stock will drop to then buyers will begin to dominate the market, that is the best time to buy,  while the resistance level is the price the stock will rise to before sellers dominate the market by selling off shares, except when there is a breakthrough.

    The support and resistance level can guide you in knowing when to buy and sell, it is advisable to combine it with other technical analysis tools.
