How to Pick a Great Stock
Those who pick stocks are not always accurate but over time
the average is usually a positive one. There are so many opportunities to jump
on hot stock picks throughout the years. Learning which ones to jump on at the
right time will translate to wealth. Unwisely jumping on the wrong picks at the
wrong time can cost you a lot of money.
Penny stocks are definitely risky and that is a factor when deciding what picks
to recommend. Great effort is made to minimize risk as much as possible but
risk is always there, even more so with penny stocks. As a general rule of
thumb you should never invest more than 20% of you whole portfolio in penny
stocks.
There are a number of factors used to calculate a good pick. You can use these
factors on your own or simply follow our picks. A couple of these factors
include recent industry news, upcoming company marketing campaigns, and growth
history. There are of course other factors used in this calculation as well.
Watching the industry of a particular stock is very important. The behavior of
any stock depends on the direction of the industry it falls under. Penny stocks
are definitely sensitive by nature to this. If you own a penny stock in the oil
industry and the price of oil starts to go down then you wont be making much
money. This is not to say that stocks cant go up in value during an industry
downward trend because they can but in general it is the opposite.
If you get your hand on a juicy piece of information about a company before it
hits the news stands you are going to make some serious money. Usually the best
information to get your hands on is the fact that a company is about to launch
a new marketing campaign. Marketing means more stock awareness which means more
investors which means more money. Stay on the edge of the news and you will
profit tremendously.
Past performance is not always a good predictor of future performance. However ,
if that history has been consistent and you have no reason to think that the
future would be any different then past performance may be a great factor in
deciding whether to lay down some money on a particular stock.
We have our own list of factors that we use to determine our best penny stocks
and it is a formula that has been consistently successful. Create your own list
of factors to vet a stock or follow our picks. Never invest with money you
cannot afford to lose.
