Posted by Profitweaver on 16 August 2009

In order to turn into an on the ball investor, there are certain aspects about stocks that you must become familiar with. Remember that knowledge is power, so the more you understand about the stock you are going to purchase, the more improved your chances are on receiving a good return on your purchase. There are five guiding considerations that will give you the answers regarding each share that you are interested in buying.

1. What is the source(s) of the company’s cashflow?

To properly respond to this question about the company you are thinking about purchasing stock from, it is vital to be as specific as possible, but most importantly, avoid making assumptions in order to know the exact cashflow of the given company. It is imperative for the investor to understand about a company’s cashflow because it helps decide which stock is the best to purchase. For example, XYZ Inc widgets are mainly sold in all discount stores across the US, therefore, it is easy to assume that this is the company’s major cash flow. Through further research, you discover that the company also sells their goods to companies throughout the world and that most of their income comes from this venture. Therefore, the conclusion would be to purchase stock in the part of the XYZ Inc empire that sells their widgets to worldwide companies so that you can achieve the highest return on investment.

2. How much and when is the company’s cash flow created?

Once you, the potential investor, has spotted the highest cash flow of any given company, you must guess the achievable amount as well as when the cash flow occurs. For example, you calculate that XYZ Inc makes $30,000 per day during the month of November. As time carries on, this $30,000 will grow every November due to inflation, deciding that during the month of November, at some point in the future, will be the best time to cash in your shares.

3. How much working capital does the company need to operate?

Depending on the company, some operations require more capital in order to generate profit. The less capital it takes to operate a business, the more valuable it is to an directors. The more attractive a company is to buy, the better the chance of selling the company to another company that could make the company a more established business in the economy. This in turn, will increase the return rate on the stock.

4. How does the management of a business treat its shareholders?

The manner in which the management of any given company treats its shareholders is directly proportional to its success in the stock market. The better the shareholders are treated by the company, the more likely the shareholders will either purchase further shares or refer other people to purchase shares for the company. A good method for the board to ensure good relations with shareholders is to keep the shareholders informed with respect to financial matters within the Company.

5. Does the company act on the statements it makes?

The more honest the board are about any business, the more shareholders they will get. As an example, if the management make public statements on matters which would affect the value of stocks, which are later found to be inaccurate, their credibility will be called to question. Such actions could seriously affect the ability to sell stock and probably share prices too.
