How to Pick Stocks 
By: www.ProfitableInvestingTips.com
The financial pages are 
commonly full of success 
stories, stocks that have done 
well. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
But, how to pick stocks is not 
to invest in expensive stocks 
that have already gone up in 
price but in inexpensive stocks 
that are likely to do well in the 
future.

We are talking about intrinsic 
stock value and the Benjamin 
Graham formula for deciding if 
a stock is over price or under-priced. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
We look at the numbers used 
to calculate the Graham 
formula but first of all the 
basics of fundamental 
analysis of stocks.

How Does a Company 
Make Its Money? 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
It is said that the most famous 
investor in the world, Warren 
Buffett, likes easy to 
understand stocks with strong 
balance sheets. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
The point of investing is to 
make money and not lose it. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
People invest in the stock 
market because they do not 
want to settle for the interest 
rate on a CD at their local 
bank. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
However, their CD is insured by 
federal deposit insurance and 
the stocks that they buy can 
just as easily go down instead 
of up in price. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
How to pick stocks starts with 
picking a company that does 
something that you 
understand. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
You do not have to be an 
expert in computer 
programming or cellular 
biology to invest in computer 
companies or biotech stocks. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
But you need to have a clear 
idea of what these companies 
do to make money, what their 
costs are and who their 
competition is. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
And, you need to look for a 
margin of safety. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
This can simply be that the 
company has a product that 
totally dominates its field or 
that they have no debts and 
money in the bank. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
The point is that the company 
is protected in the event of a 
recession. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
Graham Formula 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
Intrinsic Value (V) = 
(Earnings per share x (8.5 + 
2g) x 4.4) / The current yield 
of AAA corporate bonds (Y) 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
Earnings per share are for the 
last twelve months and g is 
your estimate of company 
growth in the next five years. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
Mr. Graham used 4.4 as a 
constant for the average yield 
of high grade bonds at the 
time he devised the formula. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
You can adjust this for current 
yield. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
This formula gives a stock 
price, what Graham believed 
should be the market value. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
Compare this to the current 
price. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
If the Graham price based on 
fundamental analysis is higher 
you may wish to buy the stock. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
If the current stock price is 
higher than the calculated 
value you want to sell or avoid 
the stock. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
Finding Stocks 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
Profitable stocks are often 
those that are not currently 
being followed by lots of 
analysts. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
Thus they may be hard to find. 
Start with what you know. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
A sad but true tale is that in 
the late 1970s Eli Lilly came 
out with Tagamet, the first 
effective medicine for ulcers. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
At that time the trendy 
investment for well-heeled 
physicians was to buy and 
lease railroad box cars. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
Lilly stock skyrocketed and 
many investors lost their shirts 
in box car leasing scams. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
If the doctors who were writing 
prescriptions for Tagamet had 
invested in what they knew 
they would have made money. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
Not every stock is has great 
possibilities but many are 
profitable. 
http://www.profitableinvestingtips.com/stock-investing-tips/how-to-pick-stocks
If you are 
nearing retirement look to 
stocks that have been paying 
dividends for decades and, 
shades of Buffett, are easy to 
understand with strong balance 
sheets.
