What to Know Before Investing into Business?

Investing in a stock isn't throwing your money into a poker pot and betting you'll magically become rich overnight.

When you "buy" a stock, you are becoming an owner of the company that stock represents.

If you buy, for example, stock in Apple (NASDAQ: APPL) and profits grow for the next few years, you'll be treated to a rising share price and grow wealthier along with your fellow owners. But if you invest in Apple and the company does poorly over the next few years, your shares will lose value -- and you'll lose money on your investment.

While this concept may sound simple, it's surprising how many investors overlook key indicators about a company before they invest. As a result, they become owners of lousy companies that lose money year after year.

You want to be the owner of a successful company that gives you a return, so why wouldn't you take some time to research it first?

Don't worry, it's easier than you think. Using just eight key terms and spending 15 minutes to analyze a company can mean the difference between reaping healthy investment gains and losing your shirt.

Here are 9 Things To Know Before Investing Into Business.
