Following the price and performance of a stock over time may help you form an opinion about buying the stock and what price you think it's worth. How does the price of a particular company's stock compare to the stock of other companies in the same type of business, or sector (e.g., technology or energy)? If the price of your first stock is overvalued or outside your target range, there may be other opportunities to invest in similar companies that have more attractive evaluations. Bad news, on the other hand, might mean that the price will drop. The launch of a new product might be a sign that a stock's price will rise, for example. Events reported in the news about a company may offer signals about how its stock will perform. There are a number of resources and tools available at E*TRADE that may help guide your decisions about investing in companies that you are interested in. A good way to start thinking about potential stocks is to consider the companies and brands you use every day.
