Some Things you Should Learn Before Investing in Stocks

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

Before investing in stocks there are some things you need to learn and some questions you need to answer. It is always important to know how to observe due diligence first and gather as much information you need before plunging into the world of investing. This rule does not apply in investing per se but in our daily lives as well. Dont we sit back and think through it whenever we are faced with decisions we know that can alter our life positively or negatively?

First is advice is to research if the company is growing in the next 5-10 years. This is very important as it will determine if your investment can enjoy capital gains in the long run. A thorough background check of the company is appropriate. You may also want to arrange a meeting with the owners and get to know them better in order to have a clear picture of the companys plans and path direction for the coming years. You may also ask around for information from fellow investors who invested in the company.

With the first step is to understand the company operations, values, vision, mission- anything related to the company. Having a clear picture and view of the company is part of your rights as an investor. When you buy shares from the company you become part owner and will have certain privileges like voting rights.

Next is to analyze how much you are paying for that particular stock. Research thoroughly about the company and read/ track its market trends. It is better to have a clear view of how much you are willing to share before actually grabbing a checkbook and issue it to the company. Think of how much you are willing to pay for and at what value you are most comfortable with.

Now that we have discussed the things that one needs to consider before buying an investment, we should try to remember these and apply in our lives. - 23212
