Things to check before buying stock

Are you with mass or against mass?
Shareholding pattern is fairly important thing to look at. Mainly three things: promoter, institutions (DII and FII) and retail holdings. Are MFs dumping stock?
Is it amongst last stocks on any benchmark (like NSE, BSE 200) in terms of market cap? i.e. say according to market cap if this stock is somewhere at no. 195 in BSE-200 list, then you are taking significant risk for buying this company. If this stock gets out of index then there will be significant selling by index funds.
Order book and Earning Estimates.
Industry outlook and Peer competition.
Is it hard to create business model or hard for new players to enter.
Secured loans and unsecured loans in balance sheet.
Be cautious when you see high "other income" in profit/loss statement.
