Doing your due diligence on companies in which you hold stock may seem like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised at how many people don’t think they need to listen to the latest Starbucks press conference or know what the analysts are looking for in Urban Outfitters stock. Just this basic research can take you only an hour per week, and yet the effort will yield a wealth of information that you can use to make your investments more profitable. It’s one thing to basic background research about a company before you buy stock in it: Starbucks—coffee, hugely successful all over the world—slam dunk. But the key to maintaining your profitability in the market is to continue to do research on your company and follow its news so that you always know what’s going on. The more information you have, the better you will be a predicting the future.
