The key issue for decision making in stock trading is selection of the right stock at the right time. In order to select the superior stocks (alternatives) for investment, a finite number of alternatives have to be ranked considering several and sometimes conflicting criteria. Therefore, we are faced with a special multicriteria decision-making problem. The purpose of this paper is to develop a decision-making model for selecting superior stocks in stock exchange and a model is provided in order to structure this problem. The proposed model is structured around two pillars: Industry evaluation and Company evaluation. The preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluation (PROMETHEE) has been used for solving the problem. The model has been applied at Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) as a real case and a survey from the experts in order to determine the effective criteria for industry evaluation and company evaluation has been conducted.
