STOCK PICKING
Stock picking is considered a careful selection of individual stocks or securities to outperform the overall market or achieve specific investment goals. Today, we have the privilege of hearing from Enzo Piccolo, a seasoned professional at Swissquote Bank Ltd since 2014. As the Head of Sales for Swiss DOTS & Platform, his role entails overseeing all aspects related to partners distributing their products via the platform, including derivatives, ETFs, funds, and more. We're delighted to share his exclusive insights into the art of stock picking.
ENZOS STOCK PICKING TIPS:
Here is what Enzo looks for when choosing his stock investments (stock picking)
Market conditions: Economic growth, geopolitical situation, interest rates, inflation, etc. This is an important point for Enzo in the decision-making process.
Industry trends: Is the company active in an industry that is well-prepared for the future, in addition to a current trend?
Company fundamentals: Balance sheet, debt to equity ratio, constant profit growth, P/E ratio (price to earnings ratio), and market capitalization, are all part of good stock picking.
Investment horizon: How long do I plan to hold this investment or what percentage profit do I want to make from this investment (price target)
For Enzo, these are the most important factors to consider before investing.
