Initially, they have to deliberately invest into the stock of a company once;

they don't need to think about it again if they have gone with the right company.

Only in case they have not, they need to consider selling away the shares and invest into some other company.

This way they do not play a very risky game and are generally satisfied with the portion of profit from the company they have invested in.
