Spotting Them LOSERS!
Saturday, June 2, 2007
In light of what happened to TransMile and Megan Media, I would recommend the following articles again.
http://articles.wallstraits.net/articles/1061
Most investors look for the following telltale signs of concern to determine if a particular stock might become a 'loser':
- Declining sales quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year
- Rising debt levels
- Declining profit margins
- Rising inventory levels
- Changes in regulatory or legal environment
- Emerging competitiors or technologies
- Rising interest rates
- An emerging overall bear market
- Events that negatively impact future earnings
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Management changes
- Institutional or insider selling
- Dividend cut or elimination
- Concerns over accounting procedures
And the best articles I have ever read about the issue about Financial Shenanigans was posted on Wallstraits.com. Know how NOT be cheated via accounting numbers!
