Gambling is different to investing in stocks. You can research different companies and make an informed decision based on financial data. P/E ratio is used to determine whether a stock's price accurately reflects its value. Earnings per share is basically a company's profit divided by the number of outstanding shares it has issued.
There are many factors to consider when deciding whether a stock is worth adding to your portfolio. They include: How much debt the company has, how much growth potential the business has and how innovative it is. The company's management team is also important.
