what guarantees stocks to rise?

Question

I know that analyst upgrades and news of mergers/acquisitions typically cause stocks to rise, but what else is there out there that will almost guarantee a rise?

I have loked into everything else, from dividends to Earnings reports, but the chances of these rising are about fifty/fifty.. what do you investory typically look for to buy into?

Answer 1

There are no guarantees that come with investing in the stock market. The best you can do in increase your chances of success. The most important parameters to look at are:
EPS growth: A company should have 20% growth from quarter to quarter for at leas 4 quarter.
Anual earnings growth of at least 20% per year.
Good management.
Stable workforce.
New products coming in the pipe line.
Institutional support
Low debt/equity
Increasing revenues.
With these good fundementals, then it's time to look at the charts to see if it is overvalued. Look at MACD, stochastics for crossovers. Good relative strength. And it must be in a good industry that is growing.

In other words, there is no "one thing" that guarantees a stock to go up.

Answer 2

Nothing guarantees stocks to rise, but the stock market does determine how much a stock is worth by supply and demand for it.

Think of it as owning a piece of a company, like you a purchasing something. Now, to you, how much is that worth? How much will it be worth in the future?

Answer 3

There is a whole business looking for buy outs from vastly under valued stocks. This means the stock is worth less than the physical value of the company. People buy of the stocks in order to own the company and then they sell the physical company off at a profit.

Answer 4

what others are buying, like stock buy backs-wher co buy their own stock. Look for co growing at 100%. Otherwise buy MF like TR Price div growth
