There's no perfect method in choosing the right stock from the market. No amount of information will suffice for the assurance of profit. Given the fact, are there really useful strategies to be applied when choosing the best stock for investment?

Hi shengcruz,
You seem to be involved in stock market a lot. The best strategy to invest in the stock market is to buy low and sell high as in any other business. I know the strategy is not as easy to practice as to speak. Some times a stock you buy at certain price, studying all its history and financial matters, refuses to go up even after days or months. The strategy in his case should be as adamant as the stock itself and hold it up until it has given you sufficient returns. There is no stock which remains subdued permanently. Most of the stocks make their 52 week highs and lows in one year itself. To be able to do that you should invest in the stock market from the funds which are spare with you and you will not need them in immediate future. Never invest in the stock market from the borrowed money either from the banks or from the friends.

Hello msdivkar!
Yes, sometimes, it's so frustrating to be expecting too much from a "well-chosen stock". And it's even more discouraging when you've invested a large amount of money and spent so much time studying all the information about your prospect yet you ended up at a losing point.
Anyway, it's part of the game. Sometimes, one loses and hopefully, many times he wins...(hehe)
Thank you for being generous enough to share your knowledge.
Cheers to all the traders!
