What this video covers

  • What fundamental analysis actually measures: intrinsic value derived from balance sheets, income statements, and broader economic data
  • Why fundamental analysts believe the market misprices securities, and how that belief drives the search for undervalued opportunities
  • What technical analysis studies: price patterns, trading volume, and market indicators used by chartists to predict future price movements
  • The core technical belief that all information is already in the price, which is why chartists ignore financial statements
  • The exam trap that technical analysis is NOT limited to short-term trading and can be used for any time horizon
  • How to match each approach to its job: fundamental for long-term suitability and security selection, technical for timing entries and gauging sentiment
  • Why professionals combine both: fundamental tells you WHAT to buy, technical tells you WHEN to buy it
