How to choose good stocks?

 

This requires examining two important fundamentals. Fundamental analysis. Technical Analysis. What! If you ask what is the basis of this, you will say words that you don’t understand!! Let me make it simple. Fundamental analysis. Examining a company’s accounts including inventory, purchases, wages, income, expenses, debt, asset value, profit, loss, tax, quarterly and annual results, and more.

Fundamental Analysis.(At least last five years of data should be analysed) To know more about this there is a post on Fundamental analysis-topic in Tamil. Technical
Analysis. What is the price of this stock as per the current stock market?

 

Will the price go up or down in the future with lots of data? It helps to predict that. For
example, the price of the things we use in our daily life fluctuates. In
particular, the price of onion reached its peak about three to four months ago.

 

The reason for that was that the demand was high and the supply was very low. In that situation, onion would have been used in a small amount in many houses and hotels. Then the price of onion came down.

 

This is how a company’s stock is priced sometimes. Technical analysis is used to detect the excess and sometimes the low.

You can invest
in stocks of top three companies that are doing well in those sectors. There
are some good stocks to choose which offer high dividend. It is important to
know the news of the company you have invested in at least once a month.
