Types Of Stock Analysis

There are 2 main types of stock analysis :

1) Fundamental Analysis

2) Technical Analysis

Fundamental Analysis

Fundamental analysis maintains that markets may misprice

a security in the short run but that the "correct" price will

eventually be reached. Profits can be made by trading the

mispriced security and then waiting for the market to

recognize its "mistake" and re-price the security.

Fundamental analysis includes :

1) Economic analysis

2) Industry analysis

3) Company analysis

Fundamental Analysis

The Salient Features are as follows :

• 2 basic approaches : Top–down or Bottom-up

• Used within different portfolio management styles :

1) Buy and Hold Investors

2) Value Investors

3) Contrarian Investors

4) To determine future growth rates for buying ‘high-

priced growth stocks’

5) To correctly value ‘good’ and ‘bad’ companies

Technical Analysis

Technical Analysis is a method of evaluating

securities by analyzing statistics generated by

market activity, such as past prices and volume.

Technical analysts do not attempt to measure a

security's intrinsic value, but instead use charts

and other tools to identify patterns that can

suggest future activity. It disregards the intrinsic

value of a stock.

It is based on the following assumptions :

• Market action discounts everything

• Prices move in trends

• History tends to repeat itself

Criticisms :

• Empirical evidence

• Efficient Market Hypothesis

• Random Walk Hypothesis

Technical AnalysisBasic Charting Concepts :
