Sometimes, people have silly ideas of a firm and its success through no more information than what seems like tea leaves or gossip.
Have you ever looked at a firm's stock chart for advice? Have you read Marketwatch, Google Finance or Yahoo Finance to geta sense of the stock and how it is doing?
I don't mean is the stock up or down for the day.
I men is the trend of the stock for the past year or two up or down? Have you read any of the business news about the stock or gotten research from your online broker?
This will help you with larger public firms and not with small firms where 85% of all new jobs are created in the US. Yes, 85% of new jobs are created by small business, rather than by the Fortune 500 behemouths you tend to think about.
For them, do Google searches (or use the search engine you prefer) to see if you can find any news about them.
