Safety First

  1. Debt-to-equity ratio
  2. Current ratio
  3. Interest coverage

What it means

For you, not losing comes first. Stability that does not swing matters more than big returns, and you feel at ease with companies that have little debt and plenty of cash.

So you check strength measures such as the debt-to-equity ratio and current ratio first. Spreading money across several stocks so that the whole does not swing much when one wobbles is also very much your way.

Strengths

  • Holds up well in a falling market
  • One bad stock does not bring everything down

Points to watch

  • Being too conservative can mean missing opportunities
  • Chasing only stability can leave you out of growth
