technical analysis
The price is the end result of the battle between the forces of supply and
demand for the company's STOCK. The objective of analysis is to forecast
the direction of the future price. By focusing on price and only price,
technical analysis represents a direct approach. Fundamentalists are
concerned with why the price is what it is.
CHART ANALYSIS
Technical analysis can be as complex or as simple as you want it. The example below
represents a simplified version. Since we are interested in BUYING STOCKS, the focus
will be on spotting bullish situations.
Analyst Bias
Just as with fundamental analysis, technical analysis is subjective and our personal
biases can be reflected in the analysis. It is important to be aware of these biases when
analyzing a chart.
Too Late
Technical analysis has been criticized for being too late. By the time the trend is
identified, a substantial portion of the move has already taken place. After such a large
move, the reward to risk ratio is not great. Lateness is a particular criticism of Dow Theory
.
