well yeah obv don't just buy poo poo at random thinking you're going to make money. also 'some profit' here means at least a penny. generally a stock fluctuates up and down it doesn't just dive in a particular direction unless some big event has happened.

it's just a way to describe the fact that sometimes people make money through just dumb luck and think their particular strategy has any merit when it doesn't
