How to identify a good stock or share for investing

The simplest and most direct way is to look at the company’s fundamentals. This is a number (from 1 to 10) assigned to a stock based the its past performance in the market; 10 means the stock has been doing exceptionally well in the market.

This rating can be found with a simple Google search! I usually check with MSN’s stock scouter.

If there is a stock that has higher sequential revenues, higher sequential earnings per share, and institutions are likely to participate in the stock; this stock makes for a good candidate for investing.
