You go and look at reports companies file with the SEC and keep track of earnings. Just one or 2 quarters of growth don't mean that much
You don't; find 20-25% gains per year very easily. Making 8% on your investments is very, very good.
An 8% raise in a day means nothing. It could lose 30% tomorrow.
EVERYONE wants to find investments with a 20% return.
I want to find a "fast grower" stock. The name comes from one up on wallstreet by peter lynch. He defines a fast grower as a stock that "small aggressive new enterprises that grow at 20 - 25 percent a year" Now how would I find that in day to day stock searching? For example, Ariad pharmaceuticals stock opened at 7.48 and is now 8.31(3:29 EST). That is an 8.52% rise. Is this considered a fast grower or does it need to be analysed for a few weeks to verify my question? And also is there any good way to make an educated guess to estimate yearly earnings? I'm just starting to get into investing and want to have a few stocks in my portfolio that I can sell at a high a few days later.
Thanks,
Regards, Mason.
