This is called Company Analysis. Not only do you have to know whether a stock is ‘doing good’, as you say, but you need to know whether it is going to be ‘doing good’ in the FUTURE. You see it gets a little complicated , doesn’t it? It’s all about researching a company. How do you do that? You read and read and read. A word of caution: things are also written about these companies that are NOT TRUE! Written by preople who deliberately want to trick you! Yes, crafty isn’t it? Let’s say I have lots of shares in a particular company, well my clients do, but we want to sell them and buy something we think is better. OK, so we get our highly paid analysts to write a negative report on the company we want to buy and a glowing report on the company we want to sell. Good eh?

Look at the 52week high. See if the current price is close to it. Look at the history of the stock in the past years. Is it relatively higher? What is the P/E (price to earnings per share ratio). If a $50 stock has an EPS of 3, then the 16.7, which is considered fair value.
There are many other ways…
