How can You identify a good growth stock for investment?

Identifying a good growth stock involves evaluating several key factors. Here are 7 steps to help you identify promising growth stocks:

  1. Revenue Growth: Look for companies with consistent and strong revenue growth. This indicates that the company is expanding its market share and increasing its sales.
  2. Earnings Growth: Check the company’s earnings growth over time. A good growth stock should show a steady increase in earnings per share (EPS).
  3. Competitive Advantage: Identify companies with a strong competitive edge, such as unique products, strong brand recognition, or proprietary technology. This helps ensure they can maintain growth over the long term.
  4. Market Trends: Focus on companies that are well-positioned to benefit from long-term market trends. This could include sectors like technology, healthcare, or renewable energy
  5. Management Quality: Evaluate the company’s management team. Experienced and visionary leaders are crucial for driving growth and navigating challenges.
  6. Large Addressable Market: Look for companies with a large and growing addressable market. This provides more opportunities for the company to expand its customer base and increase sales.
  7. Financial Health: Ensure the company has a strong balance sheet with manageable debt levels. This allows the company to invest in growth opportunities without financial strain.

By considering these factors, you can better identify growth stocks with the potential for significant returns. All of these factors are considered for the stocks of Most Excellent Investor watchlists. To see the individual stocks on our watchlists sign up to become a member, or sign in here.

How Rich Stock Traders Pick Winning Stocks And Make More Money

So You Want To Be A Rich Stock Trader

There are rich stock traders and there are traders who go bust. The difference between the two types is the rich traders pick winning stocks and the busted traders get stuck with too many losers.  If you pick winning stocks you'll make more money, and improve your chances for not going bust.

Of course no one starts trading stocks to lose money. All stock traders see themselves growing wealthy to live a better life and help more people; their family or their fellow man. As mentioned at the beginning to make money in the stock market you (the future rich stock trader) must pick winning stocks. How?

Rich traders generally have an advantage that they capitalize on. They have a system or a service that identifies stocks that meet the criteria for their trading strategy of buy low and sell high. They concentrate only on the specific stocks that trade according to the pattern of their specific strategy.

Strategies For Picking Winning Stocks

The first criteria for a winning stock is that it has to be one that lots of other traders are interested in. Trading volume can be an indicator of this. More importantly the direction of change in volume should be going up.  How do they find stocks that meet this first criteria? Usually successful traders use a service or a stock screener that identifies these stocks for them.

Next a stock with a high amount of interest (increasing volume) needs to have a price that is rising or at least anticipated to rise. There are various trading indicators that will signal this condition, on balance volume (OBV), dollar trading volume, moving average convergence & divergence (MACD) and others. Used in combination all of these indicators can be used to confirm a stocks candidacy for a winning trade.

Somewhat harder to identify is a stock with a good story or good news driving it's price. The reason why its called "news" is because nobody knew it before it was released (supposedly). So a good story is hard to anticipate. But as they say "success" leaves footprints. A stock's fundamentals (how much the company makes and at what cost) is a good way to measure and compare one stock with another to identify emerging good news.

After finding a stock with a high level of investor/trader interest, strong price, a good story then the only thing left to do is determine a good price "entry point" (when to buy) and an "exit point" (when to sell after making a profit).  Rich traders buy when the price is on the way up (buy low) and after  the anticipated rise in price takes place they sell before the price starts to drop (sell high).

Am I Too Late - How Do I Know The Opportunity Hasn't Already Passed?

There are a combination of indicators that can be used to identify stocks that are reaching a "top".  And if the opportunity to capitalize on trading a particular stock has already passed so be it, let it go.  As the price of a targeted stock dips in the future a new opportunity may present itself. There will always be another stock that will give you the opportunity to capitalize on its price move.  Just identify that other stock quickly.
