And another is to know the industry you're buying into. If you love 
Chrysler-Daimler automobiles, that might be a good reason to buy 
their stock.
If you really prefer the range of pianos made by Baldwin, in 
comparison with the Steinway-Boston-Essex mix, that would be one good 
reason to buy Baldwin stock (instead of Steinway stock).
Personally, I stick with mutual funds.
