My guidelines for investing in stocks

1) P/E less than 10
2) Negative Earnings only due to project expenditures... know what the projects are and what they will produce in revenue and bottom line
3) Good dividends if it is not a growth stock with P/E less than 10
4) Solid cashflows and Price/cashlow less than the industry
5) Net Present value based on dividends or casfhlows using the weighted average cost of capital as the discount rate ( WACC is depended on return of dividend ( if any), return on equity and debt cost)
6) Product itself and the market for it
7) Sales volumes
8) Inventory levels and how fast the inventory is selling
9) Economic Influence like the fed, move of dollar, GDP...etc
10) Variable and Fixed costs
11) The CEO himself and his vision
12) I avoid companies that cut costs to meet quotas,  like Banks
13) Innovation like Tesla and Apple
14) Insider Trading of execs ( I look at their activities on the stock)
15) Technical Analysis
16) Momentum
