I’m not too familiar with the Bahrain market and don’t really know what stocks are performing well over there or what the symbols are in Bahrain for oversea stocks.

You might want to look at a tool such as yahoo finance, TheMarketClub , or some other program that can allow you to scan for stocks.

Looking at top performers or top gainers is defiantly important. After all you don’t want to invest into a stock that doesn’t have a past history of being profitable.

But, it works better if there is more going for a stock then it is simply going up. Instead use past performance as an indicator that it is likely to continue and look at other indicators to confirm that.

Ok, so long term investing. This is basically buying stocks that are fundamentally strong and cheap then holding onto them for a long time, or until they become too expensive.

There are a variety of Fundamental and Financial indicators people use to do this. For instance the most popular one is the PE ratio. Or, price of stock/earnings of company. This can then be compared to other companies to determine if it is strong or weak.

If a company has a PE ratio of 10, but other stocks in the same industry group as it have a pe ratio of 20 the stock is considered to be cheap. This along with other indicators can give you an idea of whether a stock is cheap or expensive.

Another thing you can use is an internet tool. I consider the MSN Stock Scouter to be a good overview of how fundamentally strong a company is. Just something you may be interested in.

Anyways, good luck. Investing can be a pretty powerful way to grow your money if you keep at it. I hope you reach your goals, whatever they might be.
