These are difficult to answer as there are too many variables and no goal posts stipulated.
In my vast vast experience of stock selection (end sarcasm). Well mainly from the research I've done, blah blah blah. I've think the best thing to do is to look for a strong company that's selling cheap. Is it's forecast EPS strong, does it generate cash, etc etc.
Technically: the best time in the market is a long time.
Just my opinion.

Well yeah, of course. Hence, the company still needs to be a good company. Selling below it's intrinsic value is a better estimation. Or having a PEG below 1.

The others are right in that it's rather too broad a question to offer you a meaningful answer, but it's at the same time a perfectly reasonable question if you are fairly new to investing/trading.
Perhaps if you give some outline of your situation and your goals it might be possible to be a bit more helpful.

I am certainly no expert but the very first thing i do is find out who is in charge, directors; backgrounds, training, other companies they have sucessfully (or otherwise) been involved, experience. Success breeds success. This is your hard earned you're investing, so i wouldnt want it in the hands of mugs! Thats my starting point suggestion.
