Stock Market Analysis
Are you new to investing and would like to learn how to analyze stocks? As far as researching a stock, there are many things to look for, and everyone will tell you something different. Use the following stock analysis test to identify the obvious losers you do not want to invest in. These may be stocks that would be bad news for any investor. Perhaps they’re firms with businesses based more on hype than reality with little or no sales or earnings. Or they could be stocks that simply don’t fit your investing style, e.g., maybe they’re value stocks, and you’re a growth investor.
Analysts are employed by brokerage houses. Their job is to analyze stocks and advise brokerage house clients and/or the public whether given stocks are worth buying, selling, or holding. Although many analysts are competent, honest, and care about investors, the sad truth is that a handful of dishonest analysts have placed the entire profession and procedure of analyst recommendations in a bad light. The
continued buy recommendations in worthless stocks by analysts from the late 1990s until early 2002, as these stocks literally crashed, is a glaring example of what can happen if investors allow themselves to be manipulated by those who purpose to be professionals in their areas of expertise.
