20 Jul: Fundamental analysis vs technical analysis my own experience for stocks

Invest in stocks

Which stock analysis is better, fundamental analysis or technical analysis to choose stocks to buy or stocks to sell?

Being a CFA charterholder I strongly support and start with fundamental analysis when analyzing stocks to byt, stocks to sell, investing in stocks. My financial analysis is based on analyzing trends about key financial metrics, profitability, liquidity, solvency, leverage, efficiency and valuation. A great stock if it is overvalued according to my financial analysis is not a great investment.

Technical analysis is very useful for trading and investing. But the main caveat of it is to simply buy or sell stocks based on the technicals ignoring the fundamentals. It is like buying a used car without any inspection at all. Yet, the stock market can be irrational, momentum stocks with poor fundamentals or a stock price that is excessive according to their intrinsic value can continue moving higher.

Stocks to invest in using fundamental analysis and technical analysis

If there is a dilemma for stock investing, stock trading, the answer to me is straightforward. Starting from due diligence and fundamental analysis that is thorough and supportive for any stock can offer better risk-adjusted returns for stock trading, stock investing.

Fundamental analysis for stock trading

It takes time to analyze companies and their shares. But would you rather chase any stock and buy it risking to invest at the top? Investing takes risks into consideration all the time.

Technical analysis for stock trading

Can you time the stock market and individual stocks to buy or sell? I do not think so, but being also a trader I have seen that timing can become better if you use technical analysis, without meaning it is a 100% guarantee for success in trading. There are no guarantees in stocktrading, it is too risky.

Would you rather chase shares just because they are having a strong momentum? And ignore if they are shares of a profitable company or of an unprofitable company? In any case, a profitable company is a better choice not ignoring the valuation of its shares.

05 Jun: Stock market irrational exuberance today two typical examples

Stock market investing

Why do traders and investors invest in stocks? Why do we analyze and monitor stocks and stock markets? Here we focus on the US stock market. Investing is different than trading. Investing is about choosing stocks to buy, stocks to sell based on financial analysis and for a longer time period. Trading is about stocks to buy or stocks to sell and make a profit either daily or within a very short time period.

Stocks to buy vs stocks to sell

Investing requires patience, time, finding stocks to invest in, best stocks to invest in 2020, cheap stocks to buy now, types of stocks to invest in and other popular searches such as top 10 stocks to buy right now, best long-term stocks to buy right now, best-undervalued stocks to buy now, penny stocks to buy.

Two stocks that do not make sense now to buy

Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (HTZ). The stock closed at 1.5000,+0.6837 (+83.76%) on June 4, 2020. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Luckin Coffee Inc. (LK) stock, with a stock price of 4.0500,+1.4700 (+56.98%) on June 4, 2020. The recent revelation of fraud has caused the stock to decline a lot.

Stocks move on speculation

Both of these stocks from fundamental analysis and without having any bias are in the sell list for me, based on the financials and the recent news. Yet trading is another thing. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (HTZ) stock may soon get delisted. The risk is too big. And Luckin Coffee Inc. (LK) stock has an accounting fraud.

We prefer to invest and trade stocks that are safe, based on our financial analysis, checking the fundamentals always., performing due diligence. rather than gambling on stocks to invest in, we analyze stocks to buy and stocks to sell. This is the essence of being a financial analyst. Greed, fear, the desire to make money in stocks drives their prices often irrationally. You can subscribe to our stock market newsletter and get access to our stock picks.

As a legal disclaimer, I have not any shares of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (HTZ), or of Luckin Coffee Inc. (LK) stock shorted in my portfolio. And I do not express an opinion for stocks, keep them for my stock market newsletter. But facts and opinions should be differentiated. For these two stocks, we have facts.

Economic news

“Five million more Americans file jobless claims as Covid-19 downturn deepens – as it happened. More than twenty million unemployment claims have been filed in the last month across America. US initial claims hit 5.2m last week.

Another wave of grim economic news has shown that America’s economy is sinking into its worst recession in decades.

Another five million US citizens filed jobless claims last week, taking the total laid off since the Covid-19 lockdown began last month to over 22 million.

Economists believe America’s unemployment rate could have already risen to 15%, with further layoffs likely in the coming weeks.”
