Options As Indicators

Often the first sign of a rally in a stock is increased activity in its options.


Recommended: Look for newcomers on the "Most Active Options" list in The Wall Street Journal.

The R&D Indicator

The amount of money a corporation spends on research and development is a good guide to its earnings prospects. Generally, the higher the expenditure in relation to sales, the greater the company's emphasis on new-product development. 

Benchmark: 5% of annual sales spent on research is considered a sizable commitment to research spending.

How Institutional Investors Think

High priorities for institutional investors in selecting stocks for their investment portfolios:

• Price/earnings ratio, current and projected earnings, and management competence. 
• Least Important: Product quality, the state of the US economy, and the industry group. 
• Middle ranking: Balance sheet, price per share, and long-term earnings record.
