How to know a stock — the checklist
Read the last five annual reports: is revenue growing, is profit real, are dividends paid from earnings? Learn who runs the company and how long they have stayed. Understand what the company sells and who pays for it — if you cannot explain that in one sentence, keep reading before you buy. And check how often the stock actually trades: thin volume means your exit may be slow.
This page shows facts and teaches method. It never rates a stock and never tells you what to buy — that decision, made with open eyes, is yours. Education, not investment advice.
