Looking at two stocks to jump on PayPal (PYPL) and Intuit (INTU)
Any thoughts on these two ?
Paypal is always so weird. They are up and down like Ebay. Some like them. Their PE ratio is still awfully high and I'm not sure how Apple Pay and things like Bitcoin may affect them.

Quickbooks online is a pain in the fucking ass. Them selling out of Quicken is probably a good thing. I'm not really sure where they go for giant leaps but if they are taking care of business it will make money. [Reply]

Well I guess revenue vs cost looks pretty dang good for 5+ years. Over 10B in 2016 with improved projections in 2017 for revenue. Their gross earnings have stayed roughly about half of their revenue with a strong cash holding. Looks pretty solid from what I can tell and a properly run company without loads of debt. Looks like they are getting some great layout for improved and innovative digital paying system that analysis expect to return greater revenue and projecting the stock to get past $75+.

You might be on to something here.

I am honestly curious how you evaluate a company. Or how anyone investing in individual stocks evaluates companies. Many ways to do it and I am just reaching the tip of the iceberg on knowing where to start when analyzing. Would love to hear suggestions from anyone. [Reply]

Don't conflate trading analysis with investing analysis. While they can overlap at times, financial analysis of a company rarely if ever relies on a chart.
Trading analysis always relies on charts and rarely on fundamentals, that why traders will buy a very over priced stock on the way up and short an undervalued one on the way down.
Learn to read a 10-K and 10-Q along with knowing some basic tests to run against a balance sheet
Current Assets - Current Liabilities is called the "Acid Test". It's tests a companies true cash position with working capital.
There are a bunch of them.
Also look at how a company has performed against their piers:
-Do they have better or worse margins?
-Is there market share increasing or decreasing?
-What is their yield per employee?

You will be able to really analyze a company when you learn some of these. :-)
Dude, you're making it waay too complicated. Pull the stock price chart. If it trends up , buy it. If it trends down , don't buy it. This is the way I've done it for years and well..... I still jerk off swine for a living. [Reply]
