Good Stocks To Buy: January 11, 2012

 

Earnings Season always brings about a lot of good stocks to buy. Most commonly, investors looking for a good stock to buy play earnings reports as a method to buy a stock. Just before a company announces their latest quarterly numbers, investors tend to crowd into a stock based on the idea that “if” a company beats its earnings expectations, they’re in the money.

Counter that method with reality – Sometimes a company beats its earnings forecast but lower their forward revenue or earnings guidance. Result – Tragedy. Counter intuitively, a company rise in the stock market even by missing their current earnings forecast. In an effort to lower risk and raise profit potential, the most common method of identifying good stocks to buy is to follow the analyst upgrades and ratings issued on stocks.
