fortune, you take this forum way too seriously. Lighten up!

"But do your homework before you make any investment decisions"..what unmitigated bullcrap!

what homework? Do you even realized number of qualitative factors that goes into valuing a stock?

There is no homework an individual can do, leave aside a some who wants to just get started.

Next you might say look at P/E, EPS, FCFF, do a residual valuation, gordon model, cashflow model.

not much use for individuals....we would never know what they cooking in their balance sheet or income statement.

Recommending individual stocks like GE...now that is speculating!!

Amen
