How to Determine If Someone Is Trustworthy – 19 Points
1. Observe whether they uphold commitments. Often, trustworthy individuals will show up to work or to a date on time to show that they value everyone else’s time. If the person often shows up late without calling to let you know they are running late, or fails to show up at all, these may be signs that they are not someone you can trust to uphold their commitments.
2. Take Your Time
No one can hide their true colors for too long.
3. Actions Speak Louder Than Words
I don’t know about you, but I’ve totally dated the guy who says all the right things, but then never actually follows through on any of it
4. Before trusting a person, try to determine how often he or she is correct.
5. If you’re thinking of trusting someone with money, assess how financially desperate or materialistic they may be. I'd be a bit dubious of someone who drives a Jaguar and wears a Rolex.
6. Pay attention to how they respond to difficult or challenging questions.
The person may take some time to answer, but note if they change the subject or avoid answering the question. This may be an indication that they are hiding something.
7. When Person X says something is going to happen, does it usually happen?
If answer is yes he is trustworthy.
8. Ask yourself, “how do I feel when I’m with them?” We often forget that we can check in with our bodies. Do I feel nervous, sick to my stomach, calm, comfortable, safe? What do I actually feel?
9. They display self-control.
10. They’re comfortable making compromises.
11. People who are lying are more likely to redirect the conversation back to you. If you feel like you don’t really know much about the person after several conversations, or that you are disclosing more about yourself than you’re learning about the other person, this could be a warning sign.
12. People who lie may use less detail than usual when talking about something. They also may give justification for their answers even if they haven't been asked.
13. Does Person X sometimes withhold information in order to make things go more smoothly or to avoid conflict?
If answer is no he is trustworthy.
14. They are trusting of others.
15. People who are trustworthy generally respect mutuality and collaboration in communication.
16. Consider how fast they move. Moving into a relationship too quickly is a warning sign of a person who may be abusive
17. Watch how they treat others.
18. Check out social media. It can be difficult to keep up a dishonest facade, especially when we’re all plugged into social media so often.
19. Request other personal information, such as a background check or a list of previous employers.
Most people should not be afraid of a background check if they have a clean record and have nothing to hide.

How To Find Undervalued Stocks
1. I highly recommend narrowing your search for undervalued stocks to the types of businesses you understand.
2. There are two basic steps to finding undervalued stocks: developing a rough list of stocks you want to investigate further because they meet your basic screening criteria, then doing a more in-depth analysis of these stocks by examining the financial data of the selected companies.
3. Low price/earnings ratio
4. Price-to-book (P/B) ratio:
5. The key to buying an undervalued stock that is actually worth more than it is currently trading for is to thoroughly research the company and not just buy a stock because a few of its ratios look good or because its price has recently dropped.
6. Think about the company's future prospects – can the company increase its revenue by raising prices? Increasing sales? Lowering expenses? Selling or closing unprofitable divisions? Growing the company? Who are the company's competitors and how strong are they?
7. Lagging relative price performance.If a company’s share price is lower than those of its industry peers, this may reveal an underperformance situation.
8. Debt to current asset ratio:
You should select companies with a total debt to current asset ratio of 1.10 or less.
9. Return on Equity less 15%
10. Consistently high profitability:
High and preferably increasing net margins are a great sign which indicate that a company is either becoming more efficient, or is able to increase its prices.
11. Return on equity (ROE): A company's annualized net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity.
12. Another strategy that value investors favor is to buy companies whose products or services have been in demand for a long time and are likely to continue to be in demand.
13. High dividend yield.Bet you didn’t think to look at the dividend yield, did you? But actually, if a company’s dividend payment rate exceeds that of their competitors, this may indicate that the share price has dipped to “undervalued” status (in relation to its dividend payment).
14. Low market-to-book ratio.A company that has a low market value (total market capitalization) as a ratio to book value (total shareholder equity) may present an undervaluation situation.
15. Free cash flow. Many investors put less emphasis on reported profit and more on free cash flow.
16. A sustainable competitive advantageHere the analysis goes beyond numbers and financial ratios. Highly profitable businesses attract competitors, and increased competition generally leads to lower profits, except when a company possesses a sustainable competitive advantage.
17. Price-to-earnings to growth (PEG): Found by dividing a stock's P/E ratio by its projected earnings growth rate over a certain time period -- typically the next five years.
18. Honest, competent, shareholder friendly management
19. Estimate intrinsic values
20. The final rule for finding undervalued stocks is to be patient. Sometimes the overall market gets expensive and none of the companies you follow will seem to be trading for attractive values, and that's OK.
