For ideas I read here and also Finviz which issues news relevant to different stocks - I believe Yahoo Finance does the same.

The other thing I do is periodically run a screen in Fidelity and have a closer look at companies which meet my financial metrics but I don't already own or have watchlisted. For me, I look for strong 5-yr earnings and revenue growth. Then I use another site to look at debt levels. If a company meets these, is a decent size (market cap, I generally want at least $5b), and I can understand their business (in general terms), I may start following them.

Deciding to buy is a much more involved process than deciding to follow companies. Among other things it involves reading annual reports for the past several years (not word-for-word all through but to get an idea of specific risks and opportunities for the company and how finances respond to certain conditions).

An idea I like but haven't done much is look for high-performing ETFs and see what stocks they hold.
