Thanks

Q: Is there a financial ratio or ratios that can give an indication of the risk in a stock price to changes in sales? I have been looking at operational gearing which tells you how sensitive profits are to reduction in sales. I also read that a high debt to shareholders equity means that changes in profits have a large influence in share price. Not sure I understand why that would be the case. Could you comment on both these measures please and maybe suggest others.

Funds are in USD so the plan is to invest in US stocks and currently plan to invest $15,000 to $50,000 USD. I am considering MSFT , NVDA and V. Your comments / recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: I should no better than to get 'hungry' for a stock i've been eyeballing for a while the week it announces its earnings but we probably wouldn't have a market if we ALL acted rationally.

I am tempted to buy before they announce. Your thoughts on my irrational needs ( and anything else to inform the cause).

Much thanks,
Mark
