Re: stock share business for beginners
The availability of information should not be confused with quality of said information.
Re: stock share business for beginners
In this day and age, there is tons of information out there written by so called professionals. this should be read and understood. You can also open dummy accounts to practice on. Do this first.
i tried to open a dummy account at markets.com....it was said to be free....but after registration they asked me to deposit some money...any recommendation?

Re: stock share business for beginners
So would you buy this bridge for Rs. 25 million? What are the questions you will ask the seller Slims before you make a decision? What other due diligence would you do? What questions can you think of that need to be researched?
i dont have 25 million :(
Re: stock share business for beginners
OP per GS manual is Original Poster, which is you.
The 25 million Rs is hypothetical. Just a fun exercise for you to get a hang of what goes into buying an asset
When you buy shares in a company you are getting part ownership in that company. So it is good to think in terms of how.much money you are willing to pay for the whole.company.

Pay close attention to post 27. As we discussed, please don't buy or sell anything till you know what you are doing.
Just last month or last year report is not enough. What r u going to look for in those reports? And what did u mean by "if the stock was constantly going in few months then will "I will buy it". Going where?
Also, can you answer the question re the Slims bridge ( seriously, give it a try).
Right now based on ur responses u don't know much about stock picking. So please be patient. This could be a one year training period. After which we will reassess your skill level.
But in the meantime have some fun. Go to that site. Learn something. Ask questions.
Re: stock share business for beginners
Didn't mean it in a negative way when I stated right now ur knowledge is limited re stocks investment. That's what life is about - learning. And not being afraid to reveal ones limitations in an accommodative setting.

i mean going up...sorry for missing words
Re: stock share business for beginners
i want to try wid few hundred dirhams...but not yet... i will discuss and learn here as you told me
Re: stock share business for beginners

No problems.
When you go shopping for jewelry do you wait for jewelry prices to go up for few months and then buy? If you want to buy a car do you wait for the car price to go up for few months and then buy?
Then why wait for stock prices to go up for few months and then buy?
Remember what Slims said - buy low sell high.

no one really learnt anything deep from a discussion forum. read a book or two that was recommended above. get to know what investing really means and form your expectations accordingly.
Re: stock share business for beginners
^ I agree with the gentleman above. But just to Guage where you are at, answer the following if you like.
Re: stock share business for beginners
Suppose you have two choices - stock A or stock B.
Both are in the same industry. Both have strong balance sheet - that is, total cash in their asset column easily covers the debt they owe. Both have positive cash flow. That is, every quarter, their cash is increasing. They are making money. Both have strong earnings. That is, their net income is quite high.
Let us assume EVERYTHING about the two companies is identical. Both are selling at Rs 100 per share.
Just one difference. Stock A earnings per share (EPS) is Rs 10 in the last 12 months. Stock B EPS is Rs 5 in the last 12 months.
Which stock would you PREFER to buy?

Re: stock share business for beginners

Very good.
Can you give the reason why you selected stock A?
Re: stock share business for beginners
i will buy stock A
Now let us assume both stock earn the same - 10 Rs per share. Everything else is the same. But Stock A sells for 50 Rs per share. And stock B for Rs 100 per share.
Which stock will you prefer to buy out of the two. (Of course you DON'T have to buy either, but play along).
Please state why you made your choice.
