INFOGRAPHIC: Top stock market picks

MANILA, Philippines – Many investors in the market, especially new ones, find it difficult to decide which stocks to invest in. A good place to begin is the list of 30 stocks included in the Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) since these are companies that best represent the industries they come from. A good investment portfolio will usually focus on 3 to 5 different companies, so it’s important to trim down your list.

Good online brokers also provide strong research that you can take advantage of. A key factor to look at is a company’s target price. When making their analysis, the brokers take these things into consideration: the company’s earnings, stock price, growth catalyst, and management. These 4 indicators are vital in evaluating a stock’s performance. You may use them as criteria in selecting the right stocks for your portfolio.

Educate yourself. Choose the right stocks to buy and earn from. These are your priorities as a stock market investor. – Rappler.com
