How do I screen for stocks? What does "doing your homework"

Doing your homework means you buy a few shares of some company everyone knows (Disney, Tesla, etc...) and then spend a good amount of time on here like you're making money, make sure to let others know to do their homework.

I see how it is.

If you're asking yourself how to screen for stocks, you need to study more technical analysis.

Are there any places you recommend to learn the basics with perhaps lessons and videos?

The questions are never ending. The goal is to find things important to you. Are they spending money and growing? Is that spending paying off? If they aren't growing anymore, are they paying dividends? How much is that dividend compared to other companies in the sector? If they are a new company coming public, are they growing in revenue each quarter, or going public so investors can liquidate from the shit company (aka Box)? Are they international or local? If so, how would geopolitics affect them? What do they sell? Are they an internet based company that is just a fad? etc etc etc etc

Screening is just filtering out stocks that don't interest you, based on the criteria most suited to your trading style.

Doing your homework generally means familiarizing yourself with the fundamentals of a stock. Making sure the stock price is where you want it to be relative to the market cap and p/e ratios.

Read some books.
