finding good stocks for retiring young - more smart moves for stock investors right nowSep-22-2008 finding good stocks contrarian strategies There are many good stocks right now for the contrarian investors out there like me. Energy companies right now can be bought cheaply and even companies like Exxon Mobile are cheaper. This leads me to some of the investing ideas for retiring young or investing in the stock market early. Right now you should consider energy companies because they have taken unreasonable hits from oil prices falling and commodities in general. In the long run oil prices will probably remain high since we use oil so much in our society and almost every country in the world. One other thing to consider is how high is the volume of the stock that I am buying? gambling investors Many times in a down markets like we are having now the bad stocks have a lower volume then the good ones simply based on how well known the company is. The other reason why volume is important is of course because if you own a lot of the stock in the company you will want to liquidate if quickly. The other thing to look for in a good stock is simply what direction it's trending when the general market is falling. Did you ever ask yourself when there is a bear market which stocks are still going up? The stocks that seem to be the strongest are the ones that STILL go up when the market is falling but are not inverse stocks i.e. stocks that almost always go up when the market is going down. investing in the stock market -finding good stocks in the marketIf you want to start finding good stocks that are going down right now though should have well known names in American industries in your head and ready to buy. I hear a lot of people that I know tell me, that they have found a great new stock which will start taking off with flying colors. Maybe they are right BUT why would you not want to buy a stock that HAS flown with flying colors before, BUT is now also a cheap price due to market factors? Many stocks right now are very underpriced and are cheaper than they WILL be in the long run. Another one that is not doing too bad is Coke. They are relatively cheap starting today and they have always paid a dividend that goes up every year for the shareholders. Coke is an example of a great stock for the long run that even Warren Buffet admitted had good financial for a large capital stocks. The key to finding good stocks is simply finding good business that will probably be undervalued and remain good business for the future.
