9 Simple Ratios Every Great Investor Uses - Buffett Included!Forget the hype, headlines, or hope. These 9 financial ratios are what real investors actually use to pick winners, but... P/E? ROE? EPS? 🧐 - What are they, or better yet, WHO are they? 🤯 - How high is “too high”? - Is a low number always good, or just a trap? - Do all industries follow the same rules… or is that another myth? Buffett. Greenblatt. Graham. Lynch. They didn’t rely on vibes — they trusted fundamentals After years of relying on charts, I built a 9-point fundamentals checklist to filter stocks faster and smarter. Now I’m sharing it with real-life examples and key insights to help you spot what really makes a stock worth owning: Easy enough for new investors diving into fundamentals Sharp enough to level up seasoned pros Real enough to avoid hype …but the truth is: these numbers did flag companies like Amazon, Apple, and Nvidia before the market gave them credit. ----------------------------------------------------- ✅ Quick Reference Table Scan the table, then dive into the stories… First Pro Tip: Bookmark this. You’ll check these before every stock pick. ----------------------------------------------------- 📊 1. P/E Ratio | Price-to-Earnings What it tells you: How much you pay for each dollar of a company’s profit. Short Example: A P/E of 20 means you pay $20 for $1 of profit. High P/E? Expect big growth or risk overpaying. Strong: Between 15 and 25 Caution: Above 30 (unless fast growth) Industry Averages: - Tech: 25–40 - Utilities: 10–15 - Consumer Staples: 15–20 - Energy: 10–20 - Healthcare: 20–30 Story: In early 2023, NVIDIA’s P/E ratio hovered around 25, near the low end for tech stocks. Investors who saw this as a steal amid the AI boom were rewarded—NVIDIA’s stock made 4x by the end of 2024 as AI chip demand soared. Contrast that with Tesla in Q1 2025, when its P/E spiked above 40 with slowing sales and Tesla’s stock dropped 50% in weeks. Pro tip: A low P/E is not always good. If growth is weak or falling, it's often a trap. Example: A utility company with a P/E of 30 is probably overpriced. A tech stock with 35 might still be fair — if growth justifies it. ----------------------------------------------------- 🧠 2. PEG Ratio | Price-to-Earnings-to-Growth What it tells you: If a high P/E is worth it based on future profit growth. Whether the earnings growth justifies the price. Short Example: A PEG below 1 means you’re getting growth at a fair price. High PEG? You’re overpaying. Strong: Below 1 Caution: Above 2 Industry Averages: - Software: below 1.5 is solid - Consumer Goods: Below 2 is more realistic - Tech: Below 1 - Consumer Staples: Below 1.5 - Healthcare: Below 1.2 - Financials: Below 1.5 - Energy: Below 1.3 Story: In mid-2022, Salesforce’s PEG was 0.8 (P/E 35, forward EPS growth 45%) as cloud demand surged. Investors who spotted this steal saw the stock climb 130% by the end of 2024. Meanwhile, Peloton in 2023 had a P/E of 20 but near-zero growth (PEG above 3). Its stock cratered -50% as fitness trends faded. Story: NVIDIA’s PEG hit 0.9 in Q3 2023 (P/E 30, growth 35%) during AI hype, a steal for tech (average PEG below 1.2). PEG filters hype. A stock can look expensive until you factor in growth. ----------------------------------------------------- 🧱 3. P/B Ratio | Price-to-Book What it tells you: How much you pay compared to what the company owns (like buildings or cash). Short Example: A P/B below 1.5 means you’re paying close to the company’s asset value. High P/B? Expect strong profits or risk. Strong: Below 1.5 Caution: Below 1 + poor earnings = value trap Industry Averages: - Banks: Below 1.5 - Insurance: Below 1.3 - REITs: Use NAV (aim below 1.2) - Tech: Often ignored - Energy: Below 2 Story: In 2024, JPMorgan Chase’s P/B was 1.4, solid for banks (average below 1.5). Investors who bought enjoyed 100% gains. n 2023, Bed Bath & Beyond’s P/B fell below 1 with collapsing earnings. It looked cheap but filed for bankruptcy that year. Tip: Only use this in asset-heavy sectors like banking or real estate. ----------------------------------------------------- ⚙️ 4. ROE | Return on Equity What it tells you: How well a company turns investor money into profits. Short Example: An ROE above 15% means the company makes good money from your investment. Low ROE? Weak returns. Strong: Above 15% Caution: Below 10% unless in slow-growth industries Industry Averages: - Tech: 20–30% - Consumer Staples: 15–25% - Utilities: 8–12% - Financials: 10–15% - Healthcare: 15–20% Story: Coca-Cola (KO) has kept ROE above 35% for years, a sign of brand power and pricing strength. Eli Lilly’s (LLY) ROE stayed above 25% from 2022–2024, a healthcare leader (average 15–20%). Its weight-loss drug Mounjaro drove consistent profits, lifting the stock 150%+ in two years. Checking ROE trends helped investors spot this winner. Tip: If ROE is high but D/E is also high, be careful, it might just be leverage. ----------------------------------------------------- 💰 5. Net Margin | Profitability What it tells you: How much profit a company keeps from its sales or what % of revenue ends up as pure profit. Short Example: A 10% margin means $10 profit per $100 in sales. Low margin? Tough business or high costs. Strong: Above 10-15%+ Caution: Below 5% Industry Averages: - Software: 20–30% - Retail: 2–5% - Manufacturing: 8–12% - Consumer Staples: 10–15% - Energy: 5–10% - Healthcare: 8–15% Story: Walmart’s (WMT) 2% net margin looks tiny — but it’s expected in retail. A software firm with 5%? That’s a warning — high costs or weak pricing. In 2023, Zoom’s (ZM) net margin fell to 5% (down from 25% in 2021), well below software’s 20–30% average. Pricing pressure and competition crushed its stock quite a lot. Meanwhile, Apple’s 25% margin in 2024 (tech average 20%) remained a cash cow. Tip: Margins show whether the company owns its pricing or competes on price. ----------------------------------------------------- 💣 6. D/E Ratio | Debt-to-Equity What it tells you: How much debt a company uses compared to investor money. Short Example: A D/E below 1 means more investor cash than debt. High D/E? Risky if profits dip. Strong: Below 1 Caution: Above 2 (except REITs or utilities) Industry Averages: - Tech: 0–0.5 - Industrials: 0.5–1.5 - REITs: 1.5–2.5 (manageable due to structure) - Utilities: 1–2 - Energy: 0.5–1.5 Story: In 2024, Tesla’s D/E dropped below 0.3 (tech average 0–0.5) as it paid down debt, signaling strength despite sales dips - a massive rally afterward. Tip: Rising debt + falling profits = a storm coming. Always check both. ----------------------------------------------------- 💵 7. Free Cash Flow (FCF) What it tells you: Cash left after paying for operations and growth investments. Short Example: Apple’s $100 billion cash pile in 2024 funded stock buybacks, boosting shares. Low cash? Trouble looms. Strong: Positive and growing Caution: Negative for multiple years Sector notes: - Tech: Lots of cash (think billions) - Industrials: Up and down, check trends - REITs: Look at FFO (cash from properties), aim high - Energy: Has cash, but swings with oil prices - Healthcare: Steady cash, not too high Story: Netflix had negative FCF while scaling content. Once costs stabilized, FCF turned positive and stock re-rated sharply. Pro tip: Profits don’t mean much without real cash. FCF is often more honest. Cash is king: Companies need cash to pay bills, reduce debt, or fund growth. If FCF is falling, they might be burning through cash reserves or borrowing, which isn’t sustainable. Potential issues : This mismatch could signal problems like poor cash collection, heavy spending, or even accounting tricks to inflate profits. ----------------------------------------------------- 🚀 8. EPS Growth | Earnings Power What it tells you: How fast a company’s profits per share are growing. Short Example: EPS up 10% yearly means more profit per share, lifting stock prices. Flat EPS? No growth, no gains. Strong: Above 10% Caution: Below 5%, flat/negative for 3+ years Industry Averages: - Tech: 15–30% - Staples: 5–10% - REITs: 3–6% (via FFO growth) - Healthcare: 10–15% - Financials: 5–10% - Energy: 5–15% (cyclical) Story: In Q1 2024, NVIDIA’s forward EPS growth of 30% (tech average 20%+) fueled a rally as AI chips dominated. Checking forward estimates helped investors avoid traps like Intel, with flat EPS and a drop. Pro tip: A stock with flat EPS and no dividend? There’s no reason to own it. ----------------------------------------------------- 💵 9. Dividend Yield | Passive Income What it tells you: How much cash you get yearly from dividends per dollar invested. Short Example: A 3% yield means $3 per $100 invested. High yield? Check if it’s sustainable. Good: ~3–4% Red Flag: Above 6% with a payout ratio above 80-90% Industry Averages: - Utilities: 3–5% - REITs: 3–6% - Consumer Staples: 2–4% - Tech: 0–2% - Energy: 2–5% ----------------------------------------------------- 💡 Final Thought: How to Use All of This Top investors don’t use just one metric. They look at the whole picture: Good growth? Check PEG. Good profits? Confirm with ROE and margin. Safe balance sheet? Look at D/E and cash flow. Fair valuation? P/E + FCF Yield + P/B. Real power = Combining metrics. A company with P/E 15, PEG 0.8, ROE 20%, low debt, and positive FCF? That’s your winner. A stock with P/E 8, but no growth, high debt, and negative cash flow? That’s a trap. ----------------------------------------------------- Real-World Combos 🎯Winners: Tech Gem: P/E 20, PEG 0.8, ROE 25%, D/E 0.4, growing FCF, EPS 20%+ (e.g., NVIDIA 2023: AI-driven growth, stock soared). Energy Steal: P/E 15, P/B 1.5, FCF positive, Dividend Yield 3.5% (e.g., Chevron 2023: Cash flow king). ⚠️Traps: Value Trap: P/E 8, flat EPS, D/E 2.5, negative FCF (e.g., Peloton 2023). Overhyped Tech: P/E 50, PEG 3, Net Margin 5%, D/E 1.5 (e.g., Rivian 2024). ----------------------------------------------------- 🚀 Share your own combos!

If you spotted something off in the numbers, or have a valuable insight to add — please, drop it in the comments.👇 💡 Let’s turn this into a thread that’s not just good but superb and genuinely helpful for everyone. ----------------------------------------------------- Final Thought “Buy great companies at fair prices, not fair companies at great prices.” – Warren Buffett This guide gives you the map. Charts, tell you when. These numbers tell you what, and why. And this post? It’s just the beginning! These 9 metrics are part one of a bigger series I’m building — where we’ll go even deeper, with more advanced ratios, smarter combos, and real case studies.

Tesla Bullish, Let Me ExplainYesterday's high was the highest price since 4-March 2025, almost two months ago. The fact that TSLA moved out of bottom prices and strong long-term support zone while challenging resistance is a bullish signal. The prices that were activated in Mach and April as support is the same range that TSLA used back in 2024 to launch the previous bullish wave. The same prices as in October and September 2024. The same levels were activated but as a higher low. Clearly a bullish dynamic. For this setup to be bearish, the action would have to go lower and print a lower low compared to August 2024, this isn't the case. We have a strong higher low which means that buyers were eager to enter the market and waiting for this long-term support zone to be activated. As soon as it was activated buyers showed up and this is confirmed by current price action. Short-term, Tesla is moving up. This is short-term because a new bullish wave is just now getting started but the fact is pointing towards additional growth. Yesterday TSLA closed above EMA55 daily for the first after hitting support since October 2024. Once EMA55 gets challenged and conquered, we are looking at the least 2-3 months of bullish action. Don't get me wrong, there can be swings short-term, shakeouts and such but no new lows. The low has been set 7-April 2025, from this point on, we will see growth. Once a strong resistance level is challenged, we can look at the chart and see if there will be a major correction or just a retrace before additional growth. The truth is that the stock market is set to go higher, TSLA is just one stock. The SPX, NVDA, Bitcoin and many other instruments will grow. Everything will grow. Namaste.

Tesla Faces Key Technical Hurdle Near $288Tesla shares have rebounded sharply from April’s low, but the rally is now stalling near a confluence of resistance: 🔴 $288.20 = February swing high 🔵 Price testing the 200-day SMA (~$291) from below 📈 MACD remains positive but momentum is flattening 📊 RSI at 58 – bullish but not yet overbought A clean breakout above $288–291 would likely confirm a medium-term trend reversal, exposing upside toward $310 and possibly $340. Failure to break could see Tesla consolidate or fade back toward the 50-day SMA (~$268). Keep an eye on volume and follow-through in the next couple of sessions. -MW

Is a Tesla Stock Rebound Imminent?Tesla's stock has recently faced volatility, partly due to first-quarter 2025 delivery figures that did not meet some market expectations. Despite this, several significant factors suggest a potential for upward movement in the share price. As the stock hovers around $292 in late April 2025, market observers are closely watching for catalysts that could shift sentiment and drive value appreciation for the electric vehicle and energy company. Key indicators pointing towards a potential rebound include notable insider activity and the highly anticipated launch of a dedicated robotaxi service. A Tesla board member and Airbnb co-founder recently purchased over $1 million in TSLA stock, marking the first insider buy of this magnitude in approximately five years. This action signals strong internal confidence. Furthermore, the planned June launch of a robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, using autonomous Model Y vehicles, is viewed as a transformative step that could open substantial new revenue streams and redefine Tesla's market position. Adding to the bullish sentiment is unusual activity in the options market, where a significant investor placed a large bet on a substantial price increase in the near term through out-of-the-money call options. While recent delivery misses and concerns regarding external factors have contributed to past stock pressure, the combination of insider conviction, a looming disruptive service launch, and aggressive bullish options trading suggests that the market may be poised for a significant reaction to upcoming positive developments. Investors are keenly focused on the successful execution of the robotaxi strategy as a critical determinant of future stock performance.

TSLA – Approaching Key Resistance With Strong MomentumTSLA – Approaching Key Resistance With Strong Momentum, But Watch the Reaction at $292–$294 TSLA’s recent rally has been pretty clean. After breaking out of the falling trendline on the daily, price steadily pushed through lower highs and formed a nice higher low. Now, it’s testing a significant resistance zone between $292 and $294. That area capped the last few rallies—and we’re right back there again. On the daily chart, the MACD is still climbing and has room to run, while the Stoch RSI is entering the overbought zone but not yet topping out. That tells me momentum is still present, but we’re approaching a decision point. Flipping down to the 1-hour chart, price broke above the descending trendline and held higher support intraday. However, it’s currently rejecting slightly under $294. Volume didn’t really spike yet, so we haven’t seen a breakout confirmation. If we do clear this zone with strength, there’s a clean air pocket toward $300, which also lines up with a massive call wall and the highest GEX level on the options chart. GEX & Options Flow Insights: Options GEX shows heavy resistance at $300, with a sharp drop-off in gamma exposure beyond that. The $292–$294 zone is packed with 2nd and 3rd call walls, suggesting dealers are hedging hard around this level. If TSLA starts grinding above $294 and closes with momentum, we could trigger a dealer chase toward $300. On the flip side, $275 is the HVL zone for this week’s expiration (05/02), and below that $270 sits as the third Put Wall. Any rejection from $292–$294 with a sharp drop under $285 could trigger a fade down to that zone. Implied volatility has cooled slightly but remains relatively elevated (IVR 35.9, IVX avg 76.9). This favors credit spreads or defined-risk debit setups. Trade Setups I’m Watching: 🟢 Bullish Scenario (Breakout Confirmation): * Above $294 with volume → scalp toward $297.50–$300. * Call Debit Spread: Buy 290C, Sell 300C (May 3 expiry). * Stop loss for breakout: Close under $289. 🔴 Bearish Rejection Play (Fading the Top): * Rejection from $292–$294 zone → scalp short back to $285 or VWAP support. * Put Debit Spread: Buy 290P, Sell 275P. * Stop loss: Close above $295. TSLA is at a pressure point. If it clears $294 with volume, bulls might squeeze it toward $300. But if it stalls, the risk of a pullback toward $275–$280 grows fast. Be ready for a reaction play either way.

Diamond Top Pattern📉 Diamond Top Formation in Play? This isn’t just a triangle—look closer. What started as broadening volatility on the left has now tightened into a textbook Diamond Top, typically signaling a bearish reversal after a strong impulse move up. ⚠️ Key Signals: • Left side expansion → Right side contraction = structural symmetry. • Major EQH and liquidity sitting right above. • Supply zone pressure at the top. • Watch for a false breakout trap to liquidate late longs. 🔍 Confirmation = breakdown below rising trendline + spike in volume. 🧠 Smart money doesn’t trade patterns—they engineer them. This one? It’s baiting breakout traders before a potential liquidity flush. 📊 Plan Ahead: • Breakdown = short with momentum. • Breakout = wait for trap/fakeout and fade the rally if supply holds. ⸻ 💬 What do you see? Trap setup or trend continuation?

Telsa Bullish Recovery in Motion Tesla (TSLA) – Bullish Recovery in Motion Chart Type: 2W (Biweekly) Current Price: $292.03 Previous High: $488.54 Fibonacci Levels: 0.236 → $280.31 0.382 → $320.35 0.5 → $352.72 0.618 → $385.09 0.786 → $431.17 📈 Technical Breakdown: Tesla has officially bounced from the major demand zone around $175–$215, forming a structural higher low. We're currently testing the 0.236 Fib level after a clean bullish recovery. Volume appears steady, and if we hold above this level, we could see a move toward the $320–$352 region (Fib 0.382–0.5), which aligns with the upper structure zone. The purple supply zone from the previous high near $488 marks a key resistance area long-term. However, price action suggests a possible mid-term continuation as long as this new support holds. 🧠 Trader’s Insight: A lot of traders are only watching the daily and 4H charts. But when you zoom out to the biweekly (2W), the structure tells a very different story — one that still respects bullish continuation off a long-term retracement. This recovery looks like a measured move, and we might see slow momentum upward before the market re-tests upper zones. I’m personally watching the $320.35–$385.09 levels for the next key decision. 📌 Tags #TSLA #Tesla #NASDAQ #StockMarket #TechnicalAnalysis #FibLevels #BullishStructure #SwingTrading #LongTermInvesting #TradingView #MarketStructure #DemandZone #TeslaStock
