For intermediate investors

How do you decide which stocks to buy? You can try to find trends from the past to predict the future OR you can guess how much it’s worth right now based on the market.

The first style of thinking is in the school of Technical Analysis, which predicts future values by studying historical patterns of stocks and markets. Meanwhile, the second style falls under Fundamental Analysis, which derives an asset’s intrinsic value versus its current value by studying macroeconomic, industry, and company data.
