First, there is no "investment" going on in the stock markets. It's deception to call those exchanges "investments."
I offer a blog post, More Smoke Than Mirrors. I strongly urge all to read it as a warning :

So, if you mean 'profit in the stock market' as I think you do, then no, there isn't any profit, only winnings.
You, however, are mistaken in a more accurate understanding of the stock market. Those exchanges are always profitable - to those who are charging the fees for making the exchange.
Never, ever, ever, EVER forget that the tout makes his money on the trade, whether the stock is going up or down. Volatility is his only hope and his primary objective.
