There are a few things that always keep me thinking…… there are many online trading systems that demand to be profitable in all the ways as one can be .Do they really work or they are just for ones own profit . Do they make you profitable in the stock market; provide you with great tips…..I would like to use one. If you people have any know about this, then please let me know about them.

I believe they can be profitable but you need to have some knowledge of the market before investing.

Google:

Technical Analysis of the Stock Market by John Magee

Our Great Grandfather, who now spends his time gambling at Pachanga, says that he used this book back in the 1950s.

Barns and Noble has at least ten different versions of it.

Some investors select stocks for investment by comparing price to earnings ratios. Financial news sources publish these ratios along with the information that they call a quote, which is the price of a share of stock. Different sources might have different numbers because they have different ways to calculate the earnings, but they are mostly very close to the same number for the same stock.

To select stocks based on price to earnings ratios, the first step is to find a list of competitors, for example credit card companies, such as Citibank, American Express, Bank of America, and JP Morgan Chase. Then buy the one with the lowest price to earnings ratio.

Then make another list of compeitors in another industry and do the same thing.

To get lists of stocks to compare, just pick a stock and find a list of its competitors. Start with big companies like on the Dow Jones Average.

MMM 3M has competitors like:

AVY AVERY DENNISON CORP
DD DU PONT E I DE NEMOURS & CO
JNJ JOHNSON & JOHNSON

AOL calls these companies conglomerates. That means they are so friggin big that buying them is like buying a mutual fund. As simple way to decide between them is to compare the price to earnings ratio and buy the lowest one.
