Smart investors typically use technical and fundamental analysis in evaluating their equities. Fundamental analysis is an investment approach that focuses on the fundamentals aspects of the company. The underlying approach is to establish what the company is worth, sometimes referred as the intrinsic value of a company. The intrinsic value of a company is determined by sales, profitability, operating margins, cash flows, financial gearing, dividend payout, balance sheet and growth potential.

On the other hand, technical analysis focuses on price movement and market action. The underlying rationale in this approach is that all information is already reflected in the stock price. For this reason alone, technical analysis is also known as chartists. Technical analysis studies equities trends, moving averages, Dow Theory and market indices.

Smart investors minimize risk and earn big returns in their investment by making using of one or both the investment techniques.  The 2nd worlds richest man, the investment guru, Mr. Warren Buffet made his billions from investment using only fundamental analysis.
