What should I look for in a Company?

[So_Cynical]

So far, no one has mentioned price action.

Because the thread is called "What should I look for in a Company?" not

"What should I look for in a Trend?"

--------------------------------

What i look for in a company is

• Low Risk.
• The big picture, what do they do as a whole and what space do they fill.
• A falling or "bottomed" share price.
• Valid reasons why the SP has/is falling and valid reasons why that trend will reverse over time.
• Potential to be profitable going forward and potential to grow that profit.
• Overall portfolio fit.
• Falling or stable total debt.

You have just contradicted yourself.

Further, when looking at a company to ignore what the SP is doing is beyond belief imo.
But then, I'd never average down or otherwise buy into a downward trend as you seem to so like doing.

low debt, minimal diversification away from core business, consistent profits, good management team, no scandals

Everything in this business double-edged!

You never stop contradicting yourself until you stop typing!

Quality of management is key - fish tanks in the CEO's office or marble in the foyer are pretty reliable warnings

and how are going to determine the management quality of a company??????

Study their past performance (former companies etc), attend AGMs/conferences, join results teleconferences, ask questions of company secretaries, KNOW the market
