Default Re: i want to learn how to pick stocks

Learn to read a 10K and 10Q.

Learn Discounted Cash Flow analysis.

Learn how to spot warning signs by trends that occur on the balance sheet.

Learn the basic ratios and how to screen and narrow down the field.

Learn how to break a business's model down into a paragraph or so, and then honestly debate the merits of the business model with yourself.

Learn to be patient.

Start looking at small and mid cap stocks that are less likely to be efficiently valued.

Buy and hold stocks that you believe in based on the above foundation.
