Strategy
- Choose companies with which you are familiar – as a customer, as an employee, from a research paper in another class, etc. You might consider the following criteria in your preliminary research:
Strong revenue growth
- Strong earnings growth
Analyst ratings – what do the “experts” think?
Is the price of the stock historically high or low?
- Diversification
