I look for companies with a relatively high book value per share. This tells you that the amount of stock (number of shares) they have issued is low compared with the dollar value of the company.
I also look for earnings and sales growth (increasing every year) and a debt-to-equity ratio of less than 50%. As long as a stock meets these criteria, hold on to that puppy! |

That is one of the most difficult things to do. It requires research, research, and more research. I have accomplished it just two time in my entire investing career--Best Buy was one. I walked into their store one day and said to myself this place is going to be a big hit and I bought their stock. Unfortunately, I sold way too soon. That is the other most difficult thing to do--not sell too soon. There are some stocks that I am of the opinion that maybe should not be sold for a very very long time.
Actually, it does not hurt too much to wait until the company is BECOMING a house hold word to buy. For example there is Microsoft, McDonalds, Coke, Pepsi, Walmart, Procter and Gamble, Johnson and Johnson, MMM and many many others. You could have purchased each of these companies after they became household names and still made a fortune. There is every likelyhood that if you were to puchase some of each of those today, twenty years from now you would be amazed at how much they would be worth. |

There are lots of sites that offer advice on IPO's (initial public offering). Look it up.
-BTW- since many of these companies fail, be sure to only invest money that you don't need. |

Watch the news and talk to people around you! That is how you find out! |

Just contact the business and ask about stock ownership. Direct ownership of stocks is less expensive than brokerage firms, and easier. |

well, you have to find a brokerage firm or bank that deals with ipo's, or do lots of research into small companies that already have stock that you think will become big. Ive lost lots of money buying penny stocks, you may get lucky. |

Just buy every IPO and eventually you will hit the jackpot. |

If the company is currently publicly traded, just open a brokerage account and buy them.
If they aren't publicly traded then you would have to contact the business and invest directly. This would be extremely uncommon and expensive. |
