After those three, four more keys will unlock an equity or fund in which to invest.
Those first three primary keys, however, best tell whether a company has made, is making, and will make money.

Centamin’s price at Friday’s market close was $2.25 per share. A year ago its price was $2.13. That is a gain of $0.12 per share in the past year.
Assuming Centamin’s price gains at the same pace this year, its price would grow from $2.25 to $2.37 by March 2019.
CELTF Dividends
Centamin’s most recent semi-annual dividend was $0.10 declared in January, and payable April 6, 2018.
The Centamin estimated annual dividend for 2018 is estimated at $0.20 to be paid in two equal $0.10 payments in April and September.
The yield from that $0.20 annual dividend was 8.88% at Friday’s $2.25 share price.

Adding the $0.20 annual dividend to the $0.12 estimated price gain makes a $0.32 projected gross annual gain, which must cover any cost to trade those shares.
