As you read Cabot newsletters and listen to investing news, you will probably hear technical analysis terms like ‘head-and-shoulders pattern,’ ‘trendline,’ ‘support and resistance,’ ‘double top’ or ‘double bottom,’ “triangle,’ and ‘gap.’ These are all different trading and movement patterns, and understanding them can be the difference between a successful and a failed investment.
Learning about these basic formations and how to read stock charts will make you a better, more profitable investor. Even a basic understanding of these charts can significantly improve your investing results. How does it work?
Technical analysis focuses on the price and volume activity of a stock. In its purest form, technical analysis assumes that all the fundamental factors of a company are reflected in the price of its stock. Technical analysis studies the market supply and demand in an attempt to identify where a stock’s price will go in the future.
By contrast, fundamental analysis involves analyzing the characteristics of a company to estimate its value. This includes examining a company’s financial statements and financial health, its management and competitive advantages, and its competitors and markets.
The key is to use technical and fundamental analysis together. A great chart is nice to look at, but the company may not be worth investing in unless it also has a terrific long-term growth story. Likewise, a company may have a terrific fundamental story, but its chart (which is really what you’re buying) may not look so good.
Only if both the technical and fundamental analysis looks outstanding should you consider a stock for purchase.
