    In general, I recommend stocks that have the following characteristics. Good stocks have more than just the characteristics named below. If you consult literature on investing, you will find more information:
    1) little to no debt on their balance sheet (especially short-term debt)
    2) P/E ratio of between 10 and 20 (this is not a hard and fast rule)
    4) dividends

    I will explain each in detail:
    1) Companies can finance themselves either through debt or stock. Companies that have large amounts of debt are less likely to be able to handle tough economic times. Short-term debt is especially dangerous.
    2) P/E ratio is a measure of what investors perceive that value of a stock to be. The P/E ratio should be considered in addition to other factors because the other factors will tell you if the stock should be trading at a higher price. If so, investors have not recognized the value of the stock.
    3) Payment of dividends may show financial strength. A dividend is a portion of the company’s profits that are paid to shareholders. If a company is making little profits, then it may not be able to pay dividends. The payout ratio is the percentage of profits that is paid out in dividends to shareholders. A company with a high payout ratio may be using dividends to entice investors into buying stock and gloss over any financial defects in the company. Also, some companies may not even pay dividends, like Google and Apple. Not paying dividends COULD be a sign of a company that has high growth potential. Companies that have high growth potential may choose to reinvest as much of their profits as possible instead of returning money to shareholders in the form of dividends.

    Companies that have these characteristics include but are not limited to Johnson and Johnson (pays dividends, some debt) and Apple (no dividends, no debt).

    GO for penny stocks. These are usually stocks that is $5.00 or less. There basically companies that have a CAP between $300 mill to $2Billion. If you don’t have kids or a mortgage and bills to pay…go for penny stocks. They’re risky, but right now in this economy, there really your best bet to earn HIGH returns really fast….

    I’ve been doing a lot of day trading with stocks like FRE, FNM, CIT, RTK, CTIC, CERS, and many more. I’m up $3,000 from investing in 1 month.

    In order to make dough in these stocks.. you need to put up like 6G’s to start. keep reinvesting with your profits…and also keep an eye on the market to see what news came out about certain companies, you should invest with these right away..which means always have cash available in your brokerage account to buy them.
