I didn't want to derail new thread on Stock Picks started by @yuneeq with this question, but as interesting to me as what you are picking is how you are picking it.
I rarely pick single stocks anymore, I lost a bunch and am too busy to analyze. Back in the day when I did pick I use simple rebounding strategies from companies that I think make sense. Very high level, holistic approach, such as looking at the industry and macro level SWOT, factor in competition and look at price swing. I have found the market to be very volatile recently, a small earnings miss creates knee jerk reactions. The last stock I bought like this was ARUN.
These types of purchases I consider pure gambles, and not savings or investments which is why I don't get too involved in selection criteria, it is more a case of 'oh that's 20% off today!' I try to keep all such gambles to a very percentage of my overall wealth, probably the entire single stock portfolio to not more than 2-3% of net worth.
Do you guys use technical or fundamental analysis, or other methods to pick your stocks?
