    Hi,

    I'm new to the stock market game. Not planning to invest in anything till I learn more.

    What are some of the key indicators you guys look for when deciding that it's time to purchase shares? I don't expect anything too in-depth.

    I've done a bit of research on Euroz (EZL) and they seem to be a decent investment with continuous increases in net profit and also pay dividends. (although my research was not just limited to these!)

    Some opinions on EZL would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you ! :)

    -low debt levels (the lower the better)
    -stable or increasing productivity
    -not in any fragile industries: e.g. finance, retail, tourism, real estate
    -stable share price over a medium-term
    -low volumes (helps keep the traders away)
    -high dividend yields

    That's what I look for anyway :p

    Then again, I'm not in it for capital gains or for day trading.
    I prefer a long-term hold for long-term supplemental income :cool:

    Hmm now that I think about it..

    The 2010 Euroz report recorded quite a bounce-back from the 2009 lows in profits. Right now is quite a big challenge for the stock markets and may thus lead to another 2009 in regards to EZL profits.
