About The Course

This course is meant for the young brigade of upcoming analysts in the industry of share market, stock market and includes technical and basic of fundamental analysis. Fundamental analysis is a stock valuation methodology that uses financial and economic analysis to envisage the movement of Stock prices. The fundamental data that is analyzed could include a Company’s Financial Reports and Non-Financial information Such as estimates of its growth, demand for products sold by the Company, Industry Comparisons, Economy-wide changes, Changes in Government Policies etc.

Fundamental Analysis focuses on the economic forces of Demand & Supply that causes prices to move Higher, Lower or Stay the same. Technical Analysis is the Study of Market Action, primarily through the use of charts, for the purpose of forecasting Future price trends.

Technical analysis is all about studying stock price graphs and a few momentum oscillators derived thereof. It must be understood that technical Studies are based entirely on prices and do not include balance sheets, P & L accounts (fundamental analysis), the assumption being that the markets are efficient, and all possible price sensitive information is built into the price Graph of a security/index.

Therefore, technical analysis (crowd analysis) supports the efficient market theory as against the random walk theory which supports the belief that stocks can be bought/sold on random events like flipping a coin!!! Technical analysis is more dynamic as compared to fundamental analysis based on one simple argument fundament alanalysts depend on corporate events like quarterly results, annual results and special announcements like earnings guidance and policy changes in operations to generate a buy/sell recommendation.
