Is it still the right time to buy these stocks? Are they cheap or expensive ?
We will use stock's PE ratio to answer these questions. It is an indicator to help investors measure the stock price.
By comparing the stock's current PE with its historical average PE, we can simply see whether the current share price is high or low.
Generally, a low PE might indicate that the current stock price is low relative to earnings.

PE is not the only way to valuate stocks, but past average PE can work as a benchmark when comparing with current PE. This will help us get an idea on whether the stock is 'cheap or expensive'.
And PE is a long-term indicator, so it cannot provide much help for short-term transactions.

When you buy a stock, you become a partial owner of a business. If you don't understand the business, you're setting yourself up for failure.
Would you trust yourself to take full ownership of a company whose business you don't understand? Even if you appoint great management, how are you supposed to know if they're doing a good job?
You can find companies anywhere. You use dozens of products and services every day, so take a moment to consider the companies behind them.
Also consider companies that may impact you indirectly. Many businesses don't ever deal directly with consumers. When you go to check out at the supermarket, who makes those machines that take your payment? When you buy your medicine at the pharmacy, who's actually making those drugs? What equipment are they using? When you get your car fixed by a mechanic, where do they buy new parts and who makes those spare parts? When the signal on your phone drops because there's not a cell tower in sight, who's really responsible for building new towers and who makes the equipment that goes on those towers?
You can use the companies you encounter every day as a jumping-off point to research various sectors and find competitors in each industry. If you don't fully understand how a business makes money, you either need to do some research or find a different company.

Since I'm still relatively new to investing actively, this is what I've done over the last few months to gain experience.
1) Buy what I'm familiar with
I work in tech so I'm very familiar with the companies in this space. It is easy for me to pick out $Alibaba(BABA.US)$ and $Apple(AAPL.US)$ for long-term investments. They're the types that I don't have to worry about the daily ups and downs because I know in a few years, they'll be winners.
2) Widen my knowledge in other industries
I also have favorite industries that I want to explore more, and which I feel have a very good future although they may not immediately appear so. One of them is space. Real space stocks with a vision for making life better, and not just billionaires club tourism. I'm a huge fan of $Astra Space(ASTR.US)$ I can't wait to see how far they can go, and I'm also looking to enter $Rocket Lab(RKLB.US)$, which is slightly different but just as full of potential.
3) Community discussion
I love it here on Moomoo because it has a community that is so generous in sharing tips on what to buy. These are quite risky but sometimes, it's fun to make a few quick bucks. The more rewarding part for me is, how different traders are analyzing their recommendations and there's just so much to learn. Thank you all so much for sharing your know-how.

$Apple(AAPL.US)$ good time to buy?
