I'm still learning about fundamentals.

I am watching debt and especially long term debt (LT Debt). Values in the range of 0 to 0.0x. I think that is expressed as debt per outstanding share but I could be wrong.

I also am watching earnings as EPS, where I would like positive earnings but will tolerate slightly negative however I definitely want the trend in earnings to be up. I friend of mine from back in the 1980's always watched the earning trend.

After that, I like to see a dividend of some kind, even if it is not much, but I consider the dividend to be my tie-breaker between two seemly equal stocks. After all, when the stock is trading in a very low range such as what some call "penny stocks" which they define as below $5, it is not likely that the company is going to be paying a dividend.

By the way, I don't go along with that definition of a penny stock. I've looked at so many stocks to find Ted formations and most of the best Ted formations have the stock in a very low bottoming range, I've found so many stocks the were somewhat recently (just months to a few years ago) much higher priced but after the markdown period the stock is in a below $5 price range. I just don't feel right labeling these as penny stocks.

Maybe Bob Furman will comment on fundamentals or balance sheets. He is much more knowledgeable than I am and he is person that kept preaching to me that we ought to be considering then balance sheet. I found that difficult because I had no clue how to read the balance sheet.

I want to add one more thing. Ted didn't seem to be too concerned about balance sheet and fundamentals. I expressed in his book that the price action could tell you everything you needed to know. However, I've come to feel that some good fundamentals can help prevent buying a stock that is in a bottom range simply because it is a DOG.
