Fundamental Versus Technical Analysis


                                In stock market analysis, there are two major schools, fundamental analysis and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis is the traditional way of analysing a stock. In technical analysis you try to predict the stocks movement by looking at the historical data. The thought is that history will repeat itself. Technical analysis does not work in reality. By looking at a chart, you can see how a stock has moved in the past. But to use this information to predict the future is a waste of time. Fundamental Analysis becomes a necessity to determine the company’s present status. Technical analysis methods are very popular but if you rely on technical analysis you might as well use astrology to forecast the markets.
