It's fundamental. Like how good is the company. Then I find out whether the price will rise in short term or not using technical analysis. If you want to find out more, check http://www.stockpickguide.com

I would look at the charts on Sharescope, check the trend lines, check buying and selling, check directors investments, check interim/preliminary dates, check state of US market, check PE and ROCE, also PSR, check composition of the Board. Also these days Gearing.
I also keep my eyes and ears open regarding news from the media. Recently made one very good investment as the result of an announcement on BBC TV, 6 p.m. news.
Information is all around you, you just need to sit on the sidelines watching and waiting. Good Luck.

In my opinion the value of scrips are season bound..For instances sugar prices will shoot up during cutting season ie during oct.&nov.likewise FMCG(consumer goods like cosmetics,perfumes spirits may shootup during fes
tival .Scrips on oil sector depend on the policy f govt.scrips on capital and engineering sectors depend on the orders on hand.Even with all these factors,sometimes the market may behave erratically based on the developments on the stabilty of the existing govt or during the release of annual budgets or during the declaration of election results.Of course the above factors are applicable only for intraday or short term investments .For long term investors it is alwys safe to invest in major companies of repute.by which you can reap a good harvest over a periods of time if you are patient enough.'

Steve B says it all. I would only add that before you start make sure you are psychologically up to it. The longer you invest the more likely that - however much you research - you will make a real error of judgement. If youare likely to throw out your system just because you have lost money. Then I say don't even start because you are just heading for grief.

Well, that depends on my investment goals.My choice of what to look for in any company depends my investment goals is for aggressive growth or for wealth preservation.
For wealth preservation, I would go for fundamentally strong company, while for explosive growth I would look more on technical side of the stock movement
