• Thanks! With all this info overload, now i just need to figure out what analysts look for when they decide what companies in this industry is worth investing in.

If it is investing in shares you mean, then I can say in short that analysts look for the company's past performance and present trends. They draw graphs and prepare comparative statement of performance of different companies over a particular period, say last 2 years. Also listen to expert's opinion about investing and try to match them with yours. Thanks
