What are the criterias in evaluating investment opportunies?How is IRR on equity calculated?

I'm guessing that IRR means interest rate. With equities you incur capital gains or losses. The formula for calculating your gain or loss is:

(Sale Price - Purchase Price)*100 / Purchase Price

Sometimes people new to the stock market think that stocks pay guaranteed rates of return. Stocks move in unpredictable ways, there is never any certainty of profits. In fact successful investors take losses regularly. You must have a plan to manage risk in the stock market.

Different people invest in different ways. Here are some successful people to learn about: William O'Neil, Warren Buffett, Gary Kaltbaum, Tim Truebenbach, Bernard Baruch, George Soros.
