Library
Go to your local library and find the reference desk. Ask for a weekly publication called "Value Line Investment Survey". This is a detailed investment publication that analyzes thousands of stocks from every industry. Each week a different industry is analyzed. - 2). Look at the index page and find the section called "Conservative Stocks" with safety ratings of 1 or 2. This section lists the stocks that are financially sound (some of which can be bargains too). Write down the ticker symbols of stocks that you can either afford or that you know are successful companies.
- 3). Do your own intuitive research online (at home or at the library). Simply type in the ticker symbols on Yahoo! finance, and read the most recent up to date news. The safety indicator on Value Line is the best place to start, but you may be looking at a publication that's out of date. Look at the company's pricing history, splits, and especially for any negative press it's received.
- 4). Safe stocks are the best, safest way to make money in the stock market. If you need to see an example, look up Best Buy (BBY) and click on the max time graph and watch how their stock shot up from 1996 to 2006. They have a safety rating of 1.
