Well I guess revenue vs cost looks pretty dang good for 5+ years. Over 10B in 2016 with improved projections in 2017 for revenue. Their gross earnings have stayed roughly about half of their revenue with a strong cash holding. Looks pretty solid from what I can tell and a properly run company without loads of debt. Looks like they are getting some great layout for improved and innovative digital paying system that analysis expect to return greater revenue and projecting the stock to get past $75+. You might be on to something here. |

![]() I am honestly curious how you evaluate a company. Or how anyone investing in individual stocks evaluates companies. Many ways to do it and I am just reaching the tip of the iceberg on knowing where to start when analyzing. Would love to hear suggestions from anyone. |

Trading analysis always relies on charts and rarely on fundamentals, that why traders will buy a very over priced stock on the way up and short an undervalued one on the way down. Learn to read a 10-K and 10-Q along with knowing some basic tests to run against a balance sheet Current Assets - Current Liabilities is called the "Acid Test". It's tests a companies true cash position with working capital. There are a bunch of them. Also look at how a company has performed against their piers: -Do they have better or worse margins? -Is there market share increasing or decreasing? -What is their yield per employee? https://quizlet.com/6020906/accounti...s-flash-cards/ You will be able to really analyze a company when you learn some of these. ![]()

Buying individual stocks is still a crapshoot. Look at Walmart. About as solid a company as you can get. In the year 2000 the stock was at $70 in 2016 $66. It's made a run this year up to 86. Between those years I think the low was around 42 and high 87.But why would anyone want to own that ? I guess if you're a day trader and want to click buy/sell all the time theres opportunity but thats even a crap shoot.

I like all the payment company's. It's like owning a toll booth on the payment highway. Chipotle down and five guys up? Who cares, I get my % cut either way. |

I'm really happy with how NVDA has performed this year. I bought in at $104 and it's already north of $190. Gonna hold on to it for a long time.

You sold out a long time ago correct?
Follow this advice from many of the most successful money managers: "Let your winners run keep running and sell your losers quickly" Amateurs usually do the opposite. Not easy

And you're right. I more evaluate a company based on long term investing not trading. Reading the Intelligent Investor right now and it's definitely a learn on investing for long term and companies with sound financial plans. Has tons of scenarios relating to the dot.com boom that are just fascinating for someone who was in middle and high school at the time and didn't pay attention to any of it! Crazy how some of these companies went from gains of 1000%+ down to penny stocks in a matter of months. Thanks for the link. |
