We have been told that market is always right and the price of the stock is always indicative of what is happening in the company, it’s balance sheets and its prospects for future. This cannot be true as the price of the stock or an index tends to trend. The trend can be upwards or the trend can be downward as seen in this chart. The trend can also be flat.
Now if the stock has tendency to ‘trend’ the trend will always have sentiments and sentiments will always try to overplay or underplay the prospect of the company. In case the trend is bullish the valuations will tend to be expensive. In case the trend is bearish there is always a possibility of undervaluing a company.
This is why an analyst needs to look at both Techincal and Fundamentals of a company. By looking at Fundamentals of the company you will understand the inherent strengths, it’s resilience ability to bounce back, ability to adapt and ability to grow. After having understood the and identified fundamentally strong company you can use technical analysis to enter the same or buy the stock with the help of Technical analysis. Thus you will be able to maximize the opportunity to make your money grow faster. Knowing Technicals will help you understand and establish when the trend is going to change, perhaps find when the stock is breaking out or breaking down.
When the trend is changing positively and the stock is breaking out you can invest, compound and stay invested and enjoy the bull run. When the trend is changing negatively you can perhaps book profit, partial profit or exit the stock before it breaks down completely.
It is said that either you learn or you die. My advice to investors whether you are a new investor or a seasoned player who has been investing for decades will be to keep yourself educated in terms of markets and its methodologies. Learning and unlearning should be a continuous process rather than depending on others and asking for tips to make money. If you buy and stay invested, you will make your money grow as much as the company or index grows. But if you can catch the trend which is a friend, catch the breakouts and breakdowns you will grow your money faster. Invest the most important commodity along with your money into the market, that is your time. To learn more about techno-Funda investing contact us and reap the benefit.
