In Stock how do I know what price decrease and increase should I look at?

I try to set up my Yahoo alerts Stock thing but it asks thePrice falls to, price rises to or something. How do I know what I want to look for if I want to watch the stocks of a company? Like Amazon or something I don't know..

Answer:
It depends how much risk you want to take. I'd use a 10% window. If the price moves more than 10%, then you might want to review your decision to buy or sell. Less than that, and you're going to be swamped with alerts that don't mean anything.

It also depends on the company and price. If the stock moves a lot (look at a one-year graph), then you're counting on a big move, and perhaps 10% isn't enough. If you have a blue chip, 10% is probably okay.
if you know charting.There are so many charts issued daily by brokers.Just catch hold of such chart and look for movements in the shares you hold currently or plan to take a position in.
Invest fot the Long Term - then you don't have to look at it constantly -
just find better things to do like Yahoo Answers.
