There are many factors for why people buy stocks (value, technical indicators, hedging, option conversions, etc....) but i would say if you were had to narrow it down to one indicator i would look at the company's eps(earnings per share). This is what most people on wall st. look at when they are thinking of buying a company and they usually look at what the eps will be in 12 months from now. If the earnings are growing from what they currently are it might indicate a good value. Earnings are also used in pe ratios (price/earnings) which is another widely used financial metric. Earnings alone will not be enough to decide weather a company is a good buy but its a start in the overall research you would do for a stock

It's all about wha tis in the news. What is Bush doing what is the main news in the world. for example. If Stem Cell research is in the news, research all stem cewll stocks, same for nano technology, When the housing was hot, buy property stocks, Hurricane Season- look for hurricane clean up co.'s there are many cyclical industries out there buy it before it starts going up and hold. You get the idea?
