Is there a way in choosing a stock how do you know which one to invest in besides the obvious payoff but are there other important factors to look at also

many factors to look into:
-dividends
-p/e ratio (valuation)
-the performance of the company (ie the financials: balance sheet, income statement etc)
if you're not a financial guru though, my suggestion. invest in a no load (no commission) index mutual fund that invests in the dow jones ? try vanguard or fidelity for example.
investing in such a mutual fund is just a better way to invest for the average person, less cost, less risk, more diversification.

no I dont. at the moment, the Dow is at a aspect it changed into at in 1988. we are contained in the middle of an fairly darkish recession and it is going to take a lengthy time period to climb out of it. on the top of his 4 3 hundred and sixty 5 days time period, we would see the dow climb over 14000 if Obama can cope with to revise his tax and healthcare plans to no longer screw micro-company.

Future relevancy and growth. That could be Pepsi and Coke in the 1960s or elderly care for the baby boomers 20 years from now.
