TECHNIQUES FOR ANALYSIS

When investors conduct fundamental analysis, they look at the fundamentals of a company. This means looking at financial strength, quality of management, products and services, and key accounting statistics about each company.

When investors conduct technical analysis, they use charts to find trends in stock price and volume. By examining past behavior and applying one or more models, they try to predict what will happen in the future if similar patterns are repeated.
