🧠 Basics: How to roughly assess a share (without being a professional)

The simple 5-point check that prevents 90 % of all beginner mistakes - without analysing the balance sheet, without technical jargon

Many newcomers believe they have to:

  • Read balance sheets
  • Know dozens of key figures
  • Study annual reports

That is not true. For a first, rough estimate a clear, structured 5-point check is enough to show you:

  • What does the company do?
  • How does it earn money?
  • How stable is it?
  • How expensive is the share?
  • What are the risks?

This Deep Dive delivers exactly that - simple, clear, robust.

1. 🏢 Understanding the business model

The most important question of all:

How does the company earn money?

If you can't explain this in 1-2 sentences, the share is too complex.

Good examples:

  • „Earn money with software subscriptions.“
  • „Sells consumer goods worldwide.“
  • „Betreibt ein Netzwerk, das Gebühren kassiert.“

Bad examples:

  • „Something with blockchain, AI, cloud, platform, ecosystem...“
  • „I think they're doing something with data.“

👉 If you don't understand the business model, you're investing blindly.

2. 💰 Profitability (very roughly)
