- 分析下述论证中存在的缺陷和漏洞，选择若干要点，写一篇600字左右的文章，对该论证的有效性进行分析和评论。（论证有效性分析的一般要点是：概念特别是核心概念的界定和使用是否准确并前后一致，有无各种明显的逻辑错误，论证的论据是否成立并支持结论，结论成立的条件是否充分等等。） 如果你要从股市中赚钱，就必须低价买进股票，高价卖出股票，这是人人都明白的基本道理。但是问题的关键在于如何判断股票价值的高低。只有正确的判断股价的高低，上述的基本道理才有意义，否则就毫无实用价值。 股价的高低是一个相对的概念，只有通过比较才能显现。一般来说，要正确判断一支股票的高低，唯一的途径就是看它的历史表现。但是有人在判断当前某一股票的高低时，不注重股票的历史表现，而是注重股票今后的走势，这是一种危险的行为，因为股票的历史表现是一种客观事实，客观事实具有无可争辩的确定性；股票的今后走势只是一种主观预测，主观预测具有极大的不确定性。我们怎么可以只凭主观预测而不顾客观事实呢? 再说，股价的未来走势充满各种变数，它的涨和跌不是必然的，而是或然的。我们只能借助概率进行预测。假如宏观经济、市场态势和个人股表现均好，它的上涨概率就大；假如宏观经济、市场态势和个股表现均不好，它的上涨概率就小；假如宏观经济、市场态势和个股表现不相一致，它的上涨概率就需要酌情而定。 由此可见，要从股市获取利益，第一是要掌握股价涨跌的概率，第二还是要掌握股价涨跌的概率，第三也还是要掌握股价涨跌的概率。掌握了股价涨跌的概率，你就能赚钱；否则，你就会赔钱。
