Investors Need Technical Analysis

By Michael Swanson

Have you been investing in the stock market? Are your stock picks not performing as well as you had hoped? If you are not using a combination of fundamental and technical analysis when you are making investment decisions, this may explain why you are not maximizing the profits you are looking for.

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.

The different financial markets are ever changing. Some stocks which have long been considered sure fire investments are suddenly losing money and bottoming out. This must have come as a very great shock to the people who had invested in them. The hope is that by using a combination of two different schools of financial analysis, this will not happen as often or as seriously to investors.

The two schools of financial analysis are fundamental analysis and technical analysis. One, fundamental analysis, tends to look more at the company itself and its financial health. They use a variety of different accounting reports and financial information sources in order to assess the viability of a given company and determine whether it would make a good investment. This is good, but it tends to overlook exterior influences which can affect any company.

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. - 23223
