Sleepyguy | Cramer says to do your "homework" on stocks you own. How do you do that exactly? |

When I do my homework I goto Moneycentral, Yahoo, the companyies website, type it into google and see what pops up. I look to see if it pays a dividend and how long it has paid a dividend, take AFN, they have paid every quarter last year and they said they will this year as well. Moneycentral has news when a company puts something out. Thats doing you "homework." goto the link below and you'll see new. |

"Homework" starts with learning. You need to know what type of investor you are and then find out how to get information that would be important to you. You start with a commitment to learning. Read as many books on investing, for the next year, as much as you can.
So if you're a "growth investor" you'll look for different things than a "value investor". You're approach will be different depending on whether you're a day, swing or position trader.
You may be a momentum investor... or not.
Finally, Cramer can give some interesting "overall" thoughts on investing. It's not a good idea to take his stock tips (or anyone elses)....... Ultimately you'll understand why. |

Figure out the industry average for P/E ratio... Take a look at the balance sheet and income statement... Take into account the debt load and owner's equity. Know what you are buying... But most importantly.... Study the earnings projections for the next two quarters which are released by Wall Street Analysts. Get a Scottrade account.... Scottrade has future earnings projections listed on a bar graph behind the stock's line graph. What you will notice is that most of the time, a stock's performance is directly related to its earnings. |

Keep up on the news about stocks you own. Start with the headlines and charts on Yahoo finance. Things may change after you buy a stock and it may not be worth holding any more. Is your reason for buying it still valid. Keep an eye on the chart. Not every wiggle, but the general trend. If it changes, there may be something afoot and you should move your money elsewhere. No stock climbs to the moon. |

Not only do people learn from their successes, BUT they learn A WHOLE LOT MORE from their mistakes..
For each strategy a trader or investor uses, there should be a set of written trading rules, in the form of a checklist or spreadsheet fior that strategy.
Once those rules are on paper, in a sort-of "fill-in-the-blanks", logical format, the work is not done. For the trader or investor to continue trading on a successful and more-consistent basis - with a minimum amount of adding more money to the trading account, those rules have to be tested, adjusted and "tweaked".
Some of my trading rules are: No inexpensive or "cheap" stocks less than $26.51 per share.
For a minimum of 4 months, on a consistent daily basis, the stock must trade AT LEAST 600,000. NO IPOs.
No stock is traded within 5 calendar days before AND 5 days after its earnings announcement date. Earnings happens about every 3 months - not necessarily in April, July, October and January.
As part of my homework/research, AND when I'm in a position or in a trade, I ALWAYS check the news for that stock.
I ALWAYS check to see if that stock is splitting. I WON'T trade any stock when I KNOW its going to split.
I ALWAYS check for dividends. I WON'T trade any stock when I KNOW its going to have dividends. I have other rules.
Rules keep me out of trouble. Rules protect the money in the account. Rules help to eliminate those stocks which could cost more money than I’m willing to risk.
Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!
VTY,
