Can you use science to tell me which stock to buy for ~5

Why buy stock when ETH is gonna moon?

I can't but financial institutions do use sophisticated mathematical modeling to make exactly those sorts of decisions. Their techniques are proprietary and some of the best minds in applied math fields are regularly recruited into the industry.

Financial institutions extract money via 'low to mid-end investors'. The only reason the stock market goes up or down is because of the fact that some trading software is doing millions of trades with itself/other super computers per second. To think this is a fair playing field is to think a baby has a chance to beat a professional football player in a sprinting competition, and as such your odds of success are near 0.

Have fun with getting destroyed by the 'poor people tax', you might as well just spend that money on scratch tickets.

cant you make money by investing in some mutual fund that uses super computers running algorithms?

If you want to make money investing the best thing to do is buy property since:
1. There's a finite amount
2. It's not some fraudulent system
3. Requires little to no maintenance

However if you want to invest in the scam market feel free, but like I said your odds of doing well is fairly bad. To make decent returns you have to invest in pharma/medical/tech as the other sectors dont see the same profits in business as these do. If you can predict whether or not a given companies product will come to fruition and be widely accepted you can do incredibly well but the way companies are run nowadays you dont have any real idea what the fuck they are up to. Take Toshiba for instance they spent a ridiculous amount on their nuclear division and now a company that has been around forever is dying rather quickly.

In general statistics is more useful since you deal with uncertain events and probability. It's also useful in order to create a good portfolio in order to reduce risk (volatility) or increasing the returns with the same risk.

For a more practical answer, which stock you should buy depends a bit on you risk attitude. If you believe that you can drop 10,000$ on a firm and watch its price drop believing that it will rise in the future then you can try to invest in a single firm and have a great volatility. Otherwise you can invest in some hedge fund or index (like S&P 500) which will limit your returns, but at least you won't see the price of your stocks plummet and then rise sharply (if they will rise at all).

It's been consistently shown that it's impossible to reliably beat the market without insider information

Honestly, depending on how much money you have it doesn't matter. It's proven you can win at the market with momentum trading due to the cyclical nature of many stocks, the market always going up and down, and constant government intervention to ensure companies that keep people hired don't sink. You could invest in fortune 500 and just ride the waves. Only question is do you have enough of a cash buffer to avoid wiping out your accounts in the event one or a couple of the companies go down temporarily too much?
