If you are regular reader of this blog, you can see that most of the stock analysis blog post is a comparison of a pair of stocks. How do I pick the pair? I attempt to analyze and compare two companies doing similar businesses or operating in the same industry sector. I think this approach make sense, otherwise what is the point of comparing apple to orange?

Table below is the basic ratio analysis for companies in the glove industry based on the closing price of 03 April 2012.

Given data above, I can pick two companies for further analysis and comparison.

I would like to invite you to join me for creating a similar table for industry sectors such as timber, iron, packaging, automobile parts, etc. which you would like to start studying and analysis. Would you be interested?
