Investing

Investing:
Investors only take Long positions. They can only make money if a stock goes up. Most investors should have a 3-5 year plus time horizon. There are several types of investors. Some look for companies that have been growing their market segment in a growing sector then they buy the stock. This is a growth investor. Some look for relative value compared to other companies in the same sector or compared to the companies earnings. This is a value investor. Some take a macro economic look and think of global trends like 'going green' and try and invest in companies that will benefit from this global trend ( ie. alternative energy, solar panels). Others take a micro economic view and look at the fundamentals of the specific business including their sales, balance sheet, income statement and management. Investing is a great way to build long term wealth.
