Technical or Fundamental Analysis 9 Months ago Karma: 0
I am fairly new to investing. While I am not a total novice, I don't know as much as I should about the Iseq and investing to make that much money from it. There are still some points I am confused on and I was hoping someone could clear a few things up for me. Could someone tell me what the difference between technical and fundamental analysis is, and which one you would recommend.

Technical and fundamental analysis both allow you to analyse the financial markets before making an investment. Technical analysis examines the price movement of securities in order to predict price movements of the future. Fundamental analysis simply looks at economic factors.

The two aren't mutually exclusive irishpunt. They can be effectively used together if you have enough experience. I do use both with some measure of success but the majority of people use one or the other.

I use fundamental analysis more than technical. In layman's terms, I look at the income and cashflow statements of any given company, along with the balance sheet, to try and estimate its base value. Once I've determined how much the company is worth, I can then see if the stock is trading at a lower value. If it is then it makes good business sense to invest. I find it usually works well, although I have made some mistakes - look at Elan!

I use fundamental analysis too. There is a wealth of information about it in on the Internet if you do want to start using it. It is fairly accurate most of the time, although there are anomalies that may change fundamentals at a moments notice. The basics are easy enough to pick up and once you have them then you can begin to look at other factors.

Technical analysis also generally works but you really have to know your stuff and it is arguably more speculative than fundamental analysis. You look at the trading history of a particular stock to predict the future prices. I personally think analysis works best when looked at from all possible angles so I combine the two.

I tend to favour the fundamentals but rarely invest in any stock that has had a poor history. Trading history can show you the potential of the stock in a roundabout way. Investing in the stock market is a game of chance at the best of times so why not make the odds as good as you possibly can?

I don't think of it in odds - that implies gambling too much for me. Granted, investing in stock could be a gamble, but I don't acknowledge it in that way so as not to cast doubts over my investments! It's just a mental thing really. If you are sure of the companies you are investing in via the analysis that you do before you invest then I don't think that there is much of an element of gambling involved. As long as you know what you're doing that is...

All investing is gambling, like it or not! I do agree that analysis can make your investments initially more stable but then market factors play a huge part. This is why I want to learn what is involved in analysis because initial knowledge should give me an edge that I've lacked thus far.

Especially now you have no financial adviser to help you! Every investor should know how to analyse the fundamentals and apply to stock history to his potential portfolio. There are plenty of resources out there that could give you a crash course. Once you have the knowledge you will surprised with the immediate results you have.
