Hi biz
I've been researching stocks and investing for some time now, listening to audiobooks like the new market wizards and the intelligent investor and reading incestopedia. I am also a trainee accountant and I feel my accounting studies have helped as well especially the financial management unit.
I feel like I could now perform a decent fundamental analysis of a company, however this would obviously take time, researching working out different ratios, discounted cash flows etc. The problem I have is finding the initial companies I should perform analysis on.
I am just using a practice account at the minute but need a way of filtering general stocks to make a shortlist of those I can do more in depth analysis of before potentially investing. What sort of factors would you filter by to narrow down the search?

I think I should also mention that a lot of the books have gone over my head a bit but I research terms I don't understand and I am reading beginner books as well and feel as if I'm gradually learning
>>
>>1688315
Well, I'm a newbie as well but I'll share my method. Note that I'm not American and not investing in American markets tho.
I don't know much about most of the companies on my local exchange either.
I start filtering with
>P/E
>D/Y %
this data is available on the newspaper, not 100% accurate, but good enough I guess. Since this is my only source that lists all P/E of all companies at one glance; internet, etc has better data but each company has its own page, ie cumbersome.
Then I filter with
>Revenue trend
>Profit trend
>Profit margin history
>Dividend history
This data is available on free websites, and I look up on the companies one by one. At this time I also start to read about the company: what's its business, network, product, etc.
Then I further look into
>Annual reports, quarter reports, from the exhange site
>For the different ratios, I'll use my brokerage's database
Hope that helps OP

Don't think that's gonna help you analyse companies anon

Pretty spot on in most aspects. Although the subprime shitstorm was caused by regulators not doing their jobs, not bankers or subprime borrowers. If kids keep acting up in school is it the kids' fault or the people who teach the kids how to act and set their rules? If boxers keep killing each other in the ring is it the boxers fault or the fault of the refs for not ending the fight sooner?

I would say it's close to 50/50, at least with your second example. But I get your point.
Also, if I'm an Economics n00b and wanna know more about the subject (I've only read Adam Smith and Karl Marx, but with a philosophical POV), which books or media in general would you recommend?

Does it frustrate you knowing there are kids out there with tens or hundreds of millions just because their parents were rich?
There are actually people that get to live this life and they didn't have to put the slightest bit of effort in.

No they don't understand the feeling of earning your own money and that lifestyle is usually the "normal" for them so they don't even care/enjoy it.

buy free parking and start charging

I like to get everyone to agree to certain rules very clearly before the game starts. For example, houses. If we agree that there's a finite amount of them, I shekel down and buy up as many as I can and don't upgrade to hotels.

Guys seriously fucking question:
I bought $3,900 worth of Ethereum at $12 a coin. Should I sell my Ethereum and immediately buy it back? This would realize my loss and I could write off the $1,600 loss on my taxes. I'm getting raped out the ass with taxes on my small business. Good idea? I would end up paying a higher tax when Ethereum finally moons, because I will have a lot lower basis, but I need the tax credits now goddamnit. Help??

Sup /biz/,
a few months ago I wrote a program, just for the giggles. Turned out it sells. So I rewrote it, added a server application for authentication and released it. Signed up for some related affiliate programs, etc. Later on, after realizing how stupid normalfags are, I rewrote dat shit again to add a GUI. Sales exploded.
Now that I'm old and grey, I don't have the time anymore to keep developing it. So if some anon wants to pimp his github, earn some money and gain some hands-on-experience, I'm looking for you.
Requirements
> At least 18yo
> Experience with C++

As a matter of fact, a webdev would probably be quite useful as well. Still a paid position but the c++ position is still a lot more profitable.
Requirements:
> Wordpress
> Php
> Databases

Hello. Give me your money

>>1687707
webdev here, I'm not looking for a position as I run my own company, but we could make some sites for you if that's what you need. PHP and Databases are basically all we do.
Send me an email to [email protected] and I'll send you a portfolio/our site/etc if you're interested.

I have 30,000 uk pounds and would like to buy a 50,000 pound flat.
I'd like to take out a 25,000 loan/mortgage to pay for this, however I'm a 18 year old uni student and my main source of income is studentbux (10,200 for housing, food etc a year), and I could get about 4,000 working through the holidays.
Would I be able to take out a mortgage and pay it back using studentbux (or do you have to have a job even though student bux are exactly the same)?
Being able to borrow from family is unlikely.

Please respond, I don't want to waste any money on rent if I don't have to.
>>
How hard would it be to get a token part time job? Or does that ruin student welfare?
>>
>>1687644
Easy but either the pay is ridiculously shit compared to student bux, or they give you 3 hour shifts which waste hours in travel.
I already work one in the holidays which is where the 4,000 comes from, giving me a total income of about 14,000 tax free a year.
I'm looking for any bongs who've bought a flat during uni without having a rich family, to see if it's actually possible or if I'm going to have to give in to paying rent.
What is /biz/'s opinion on FOREX trading?
It's a much larger market than the stock market, it has high liquidity, and through proper technical analysis, you can call profitable trades. So my question is, why haven't you people sat down, study the markets, and take profits?

Not to mention you don't need a large amount of start up capital due to the huge amount of leveraging brokers offer

jesus christ that irritates me on so many levels. not just the triangles but the fact that it's being done on a phone. but the picture is just a general one i found, not my own work.
This shit is a scam. I tried it cause some anon here said it was a legit way to make money.

Fake and gay.
That chart shows the S&P with a flat-to-negative return in the last two weeks, whereas in reality the markets are up several percentage points.
Not to mention, the Investopedia game uses delayed quotes and can be gamed by a 6 year old.

Fucking poorly.
Got smashed, started getting aggressive with associates (I'm self employed so I don't have to impress anyone) then when I went over board with the alcohol I whipped out a bag of cocaine and started doing it in front of everyone.
Safe to say I'll probably not get invited next year.
