FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
The method of evaluating the balance sheet of an equity
Fundamental Analysis
The fundamental stock analysis method involves the evaluation of a business at a basic financial level. Investors use fundamental analysis to determine whether the current price of a company’s stock reflects the future value of the company. Fundamental analysis uses different factors such as the current economic environment and finances of the company to estimate its stock value. Different key ratios are also used to determine the financial health and understand the true value of a company’s stock. Stock analysis is also called equity analysis or market analysis. Investors or traders make buying or selling decisions based on stock analysis information. Stock analysis helps traders to gain an insight into the economy, stock market, or securities.
Dividend Stocks
Dividend investing can be a great investment strategy. Dividend stocks are shares of companies that regularly pay investors a portion of the company's earnings. The best dividend stocks are shares of well-established companies that increase their payouts over time.
Dividend Stocks Record Date
The date of record is the day on which the company checks its records to identify shareholders of the company. An investor must be listed on that date to be eligible for a dividend payout. The date of payment is the day the company mails out the dividend to all holders of record.
Dividend Stocks Ex Date
Ex-dividend means a company's dividend allocations have been specified. The ex-dividend date or "Ex-date" is usually one business day before the record date. Investors who purchase a stock on its Ex-dividend date or after will not receive the next dividend payment.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
To predict future price movements
Technical analysts examine the historical trading data of a security and estimate the future move of the security. It is frequently used for forex and commodities. The technical analysis is based on the following assumptions:
The market knows it all
Technical analysis assumes that the market price of a stock reflects all that has or can affect a company. Technical analysts consider that all the factors affecting the company are priced into the security.
Price follows a trend
It implies that once a trend is established, future prices tend to follow the direction of the trend. Such an assumption is the basis of many strategies for technical trading.
History is likely to be repeated
History repeats itself mainly concerning price movement. Market psychology causes price movements to repeat. Technical analysis involves using chart patterns to analyze the movements in the market and study trends. Charts that have been used for over 100 years are still relevant since price movement patterns are often repetitive.
