The best advise I can give you has been said before, countless times:

  1. Understand accounting, you need to know what your reading, all of the charts in the world are valueless unless you understand them.

  2. Stick to fundamentals and value add over a long period of time.

  3. You’re being part of a company, thats the mindset you need to develop.

FYI: Every great investor has said everything I’v just said.

Good luck.

I am listing down few factors which can help you choose the best stock to buy for your stock market investment:

Future Growth Potential
One way to consider stocks while choosing the best stock to buy is to look at companies with huge growth potential in future. As you might be aware of the future of automobile industry is going to be electric. So companies which manufacture battery packs, a core component in electric vehicles are likely to have huge demand in future.

Relative strength in industry
How well the company is placed in the industry as compared to its competitors can help you decide whether it can be considered as the best stock to buy. The best example of this is Coal India which has over 75% market share in the industry where it is operates.

Debt-equity ratio
Low or zero debt means the company has enough funds for expansion or regular dividend payout. On the contrary high debt will restrict the company’s expansion plans as a significant portion of earnings will be used for paying off the interest.

Price-earnings ratio
The P/E ratio denotes how well a stock’s price is doing relative to the company’s earnings and helps to compare companies in the same industry or sector. It is an important factor to consider when using fundamental analysis.

Management of the company
A well-managed company with a visionary management has the potential to grow many times with time. A management which serious about the business will use its excess cash flow wisely for further expansion or reward the shareholders by paying dividends. The most important thing is transparency. It reveals the real intention of the management and how serious they are about talking the business to the next level.

Considering the current market situation I am sure you must be hesitant about investing in the stock market I am sure you know how overhyped the news are, these days. But if you want to become a successful investor, you can safely ignore the stock market news and stick to fundamental analysis-based investing.
