Q: As beginners, there are three methods of analysis that have to be noted.

A: After a lot AMA events, let's get a little summary about three basic analysis methods.

Fundamental Analysis

What is fundamental analysis?

Analyze the company’s basic operations and development and understand the company’s intrinsic value, including financial analysis, management analysis, and industry analysis.

Representative

1.Such investors are called value investors, and their representatives include Warren Buffett.

2.Buffett: "Owning it and expecting it to rise next morning is very stupid."

Financial Analysis

1.Can reflect the company's past operating performance and trends. Specifically, it includes three financial statements- Balance Sheet, Income Statement, and Cash Flow.

2.For example: the company's profit and loss, debt ratio, cash flow, price-earnings ratio and so on.

Management Analysis

1.It can reflect the company's future development model and financing capabilities.

2.For example: the past work experience of the CEO and other management, negative or positive news, the cooperation relationship with the government and other institutions, etc.

Industry Analysis

It can reflect the development cycle of the industry in which the company is located.

The Advantages of Fundamental Analysis

1.Relatively easy to understand.

2.A more comprehensive understanding of the development of the company and price.

The Disadvantages of Fundamental Analysis

1.It may take a long time to realize profit, which is not suitable for short-term investors

2.Forecast accuracy is not high.

Examples

Technical Analysis

What is technical analysis?

Study past price trends and trading volume, and predict future price trends.

Representative

1.This type of investor is called a technology investor, and representatives include Mark Minervini.

2.Minervini: "If the price does not go up, it proves that investors are not optimistic about the future."

Technical indicators

For example: use the "Golden Cross" of the KDJ indicator to buy and sell at the "Death Cross".

The Advantages of Technical Analysis

1.Buy at a relatively low price and sell at a relatively high point, thereby increasing the rate of return.

2.Easy to buy and sell according to technical analysis.

The Disadvantages of Technical Analysis

1.The success rate is not high, usually less than 50%.

2.Some principles of technical analysis are difficult to understand, causing many people can't get the points.

News Analysis

What is News Analysis?

Analyze the company-related news, including the company's development, industry growth, national policies, etc., and judge whether the price will rise or fall due to these news.

Representative

1.Such investors are usually called "speculators." Representatives include George Soros, a financial crocodile who specializes in finding bubbles in the market and dumping local currencies in large quantities.

2.Soros: "The market is stupid, you don't have to be too smart."

Media news

For example: Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, added the Bitcoin "#" to Twitter on social media. After a while, Bitcoin mining companies rose sharply, such as SOS , MARA, RIOT.

Official news

For example: ELON MUSK once stopped using BTC to purchase Tesla cars, causing the price of BTC to fall.

Insider news

The Advantages of News Analysis

2.Understanding what's happening in the world and making investments interesting.

The Disadvantages of News Analysis

1.Information may be lagging, that is, the price has been raised before the good news appears.

2.Blindly follow the trend of speculation, leading to being "Got Played for A Sucker", that is, leaving the market at a loss.

Example

1.Like what mentioned in the previous AMA, @Whale_alert is very useful for users to recognize the market flowing. How many times do BTC transfer from exchange to their wallets, or from wallets to exchanges.All this information can help you to understand how the traders would like to play.

2.And if you would like to know the news about any coin, remember to Goolgle. Before you start to play a coin, try to understand all its background and the future planning of its mother company.

Conclusion

1.Generally speaking, beginners should learn Fundamental Analysis first. Because basic analysis is the basis for judging the value of a company, it can help us find high-quality companies that grow healthily.

2.Each of the three methods has advantages and disadvantages.
