Stock Strategies
Learn about various strategies for investing in stocks, including the “buy and hold approach,” analyzing market timing, and estimating a company’s potential for growth.
Fundamental Analysis
This investment strategy involves evaluating a stock by examining the company, especially its operations and its financial condition. Here we look at several valuation methods, factoring in price/earnings ratio, PEG, dividend yields, book value, price/sales ratio, and return on equity.
Technical Analysis
Unlike fundamental analysis, technical analysis ignores the company underlying the stock and instead tries to predict price changes by studying the market itself. We examine technical analysis concepts like moving averages, support and resistance, advance/decline lines, relative strength, momentum, and volume.
