The Technical Analysis Toolbox

By Michael Swanson

Anyone with experience investing in the stock market knows how important it is to analyze what is going on in different areas of the market. This is important, especially for stock market beginners because you need to know where to invest your money so that you have the best chance of maximizing profits and minimizing losses. You need to use a combination of techniques including technical analysis to do this.

If you are not sure why it is important that you use both methods of analysis, you should know that no company's investment value rests solely on internal or external factors. There is a complicated web of influence that takes both of these things into account. For example, if a company is heavily in debt, an investor may not be interested in holding on to their shares. A lack of investor confidence can make stock prices plummet, making it difficult for a company to get necessary financing. There are always performance and trending reports but you may not know how to read them properly.

Because the stock market is constantly changing, navigating the ups and downs can be difficult. Using a combination of two different financial analysis methods can be an excellent way to decipher the information you are receiving and make accurate decisions about which are the best investments to make.

The two different methods of financial analysis are fundamental analysis and technical analysis. The way to tell the difference is that financial analysis tends to look inward at reports being generated by the company itself. These can be financial reports including year-end statements, ledger information, and financial projections as far as future profits.

Technical analysis tends to be more outward looking than fundamental analysis. Unlike fundamental analysis, technical analysis uses reports from the markets such as volume and price of the stocks themselves. If a stock is on the way up and the volume of stocks being traded is appealing, then the technical analysis will be favorable.

Remember that no company ever rises or falls solely because of internal or external forces. Therefore, a careful look at the overall health of the company is important. A good financial adviser will work with both technical and fundamental analysis and help you craft a portfolio that gives you the returns you are looking for. - 23212
