Long term investments and S.W.O.T. analysis.

Whenever you or the government makes long term investments, they should take a S.W.O.T. analysis to see if they can make money.  

S.W.O.T. stands for Strengths, Weakenesses, Opportunities and Threats.  It is also a good analysis to do on your own business to see what direction you should go in.  Just right down a list of each of the business's strengths, weakenesses, opportunities and threats and you will have a much better idea of where that business stands and whether its stock price will soar or fall flat.
