I recently came across some companies that I feel very comfortable investing in. You seem like someone who knows what they're talking about when it comes to investments.For someone who is new to the investments field like me, what advice do you have for me as a beginner? Anything in particular I should look for? Any resources I should utilize to make a better informed decision?
Anyone else with experience in investments is more than welcome to provide some insight and advice.
Thanks all.

Well that is a question that can have 10 books worth of answers or very little depending on you.
A few first questions might be-
Is the company publically listed and trading?
Is your money for investing and risk taking or less risk taking like a IRA?
What is motivating you to purchase this stock?
How much do you know about the internals, the guts of the company?
How is this company relative to the industry and what advantages does it have?
What research have you done into this so far?
These are a few questions...let me know the answers. If you dont want to give the name on this message board (I dont know why, it isnt like if 50 people invest that it will change the stock price much) then send me a PM if you would rather and tell me the name if you like.

Yeah that question is definitely broad. Thanks for replying.
Is the company publicly listed and trading? Yes.
Is your money for investing and risk taking or less risk taking like a IRA? Yes, strictly for risk taking. I have a certain amount of money that I'm comfortable willing to invest and risk.
What is motivating you to purchase this stock? This particular company is now in a phase of buying other companies and I believe they'll be making a big acquisition in the near future. My thinking is to buy stock now to be able to sell later.
How much do you know about the internals, the guts of the company? Not too much, but I have seen firsthand how this company operates and their future seems bright.
How is this company relative to the industry and what advantages does it have? This company is not at the top of their industry, but they are steadily climbing the ladder.
What research have you done into this so far? Not too much research. This is where I was hoping you would come into play and provide some guidance on what I could do.

For the time being, I'd rather not disclose the name of this particular company just because, as stated before, I'm very new to this. Would like to get a grasp of how investing works first before I even make any real decisions.
Once again, thanks for your reply.

Well without too much more information I would do what I suggested..which means dig deep into the financials, review years worth of available data to see if you can understand their decision making...if they are cash flow positive, what they do with their cash flow..look up salaries of their directors, look up the stock performance and find out what caused any dips and rises..try to establish a market sentiment. See if you can figure out if the market is not properly covering the company and there is an opportunity for you.
In my opinion the best ways to make money in the market are either to wait for a pullback on a stock that is properly valued but the market corrects and it also corrects..then you buy. The second way is to dig and find a small to mid cap company that has a market cap of under 100 million. A company maybe not that well known but that has good management, makes good decisions, has potential to increase earnings, isnt heavily in debt, does not have many product mistakes and is not a retread who was once something and now is destroyed with no prospects, one that does not shuffle management all the time. Some company that you can see is undervalued and you can wait on for 5 yrs.
That is the way you beat the market...it isnt from daytrading or playing penny stocks or trying to chase momentum.
The best results I ever had was doing one of the two things I mentioned. I have MANY regrets like missing opportunities to make a fast buck. I was investing when Amazon came out to the market, when Apple was a cheap company not making the Iphone yet..but at that time I was trying to chase a quick moving internet stock and was not patient enough. I sat through the .com implosion and missed opportunities, I did make some good choices on the 08 drop and I hope I make more when I get the chance in the future.

Some great info here from Wallstreet. That's why I only trade technicals now. You just can't trust corporate f#cks and they cover to much up until it's too late for the small potatoes like myself.

Are you saying that day trading is a futile endeavour? Or is it just a different skill set and way of approaching the market that can still be profitable in the right circumstances?
Not meant to be a hostile question, just also fairly green and curious about the business.
