the secret to investing is all about timing. imagine investing in google just weeks before it exploded on the internet!

the key here is to not metaphorically "put your money in a large pile, pour gasoline on it and burn it" by investing during the largest economic crisis in the past 80 years.

best of luck!

IF u decide to buy shares,u have to check,
1.wether they are giveing dividend regularly for past 3 yrs..with out fail.
2.Bord of directors
3.EPS for quarter
3.on going projects and Projects wich they are going to win

Intailly this enough for a beginers

While choosing a stock, following criteria's need to be analysed for choosing the correct pick

ROCE(Return on Capital Employed)

ROCE = profit after tax + interest earned on investment in long term funds by the company

Higher the ROCE , better is the company.

ROE(Return on Equity)

ROE = Profit After Tax/Shareholder funds.

Higher the ROE, better.

Last 10 years sales growth

Compare the growth percentage with the industry average to figure out if the company is a underperformer or outperformer

Free Cash Flow:

Free Cash Flow = Operational profit - capital expenditure.

Higher the free cash flow, better is the company.

Debt/Equity Ratio

Debt/Equity Ratio = Debt used for business/equity capital used for business

Ratio of > 2 is risky.

Working Capital

Working capital = Cash needed to run daily business.

Higher (Sales/Working capital) is a good sign.

Profit Margins

Net profit Margin = Net Profit/Sales.

Higher margin, better prospect.

Your idea in investing shares is good but u have to invest in the particular share at correct time ( low levels) and exit at high levels .

There are two approaches :
One is called the Fundamental analysis - wherein you have to study the company's past and present performance, future order book, profit statements etc.
The other one is called the Technical analysis - wherein you learn to preidict the price of the share based on the past prices of the share

buy moar stuff = share go up
buy less stuff = share go down

easy as that

You should analyze that company as follows:

1) Read everything you can about that company and all of its competitors. This includes any news articles, all of their historical financial information (and the competitors financial information and news stories etc...)

2) Look at the margins - Profit margin, Gross margin, as well as the rate at which sales will increase, decrease or stay the same.

3) Taking their income statement (sales, cost of sales, and net income), project their earnings forward 5 years.

4) Do the same thing for each competitor company.

5) Then based on that, do a discounted cash flow and divide it per shares and you will have a reasonable share price at which to buy that company (provided everything else looks good).

6) Wait for the actuall share price to go below your cashflow/share price - then buy it.

Good luck!

Share Prices get influenced by Internal Factors of the Company and External Factors of the Economy.
In internal Factors: Keep a track of all the news items pertaining to the Company, this will enable u to evaluate the impact of the news on the Company's Performance.

External Factors are beyond Company's Control buut they impact the Company's Performance.
For Eg: Hike in Export Duty of Iron Ore, will impact Iron Ore Exporting Companies, their sales will be hit, profits may get affected and therby share price is likely to go down.

Moneycontrol, Equity Master, Economic Times-Investopedia are some good sources that guide u on Investments and Share Trading.
