Stock Characteristics

Many stock traders and investors enter the market with the mistaken belief that all stocks are the same. After all, one stock is much like another, with shareholders, a board, quarterly earnings, and a quoted share price. While superficially this might appear to be the case, it is far from the truth, since every stock has its own 'DNA', the characteristics if you like.

In this module, we introduce you to the twelve stock groups which David and I have christened the 'stock clock' and which will be referred to regularly in the webinars as a shorthand description of stock characteristics. Every stock is different, not only in its characteristics, but how it behaves in the market, and whether you are an investor or trader, these are key differences you need to understand and appreciate before diving into the market blindly. So whether it is meme stocks, penny stocks, fallen angel stocks, low float stocks, or cyclical stocks that are of interest, they are all explained and analyzed here as we work our way around the stock clock starting with blue chip stocks and ending with growth stocks.
