StockTimer - Buy & Sell Stocks At the Right Time

StockTimer - learn how to time the stock market. Buy and sell stocks at the right time to make more money. Also, get advice on how to size your trades to limit potential losses.

The two main approaches to analyze the market and individual stocks are fundamental analysis and technical analysis. 

Fundamental analysis involves the use of economic data - P/E ratios, book values, crop reports, import / export figures, industry trends - to predict whether prices will go up or down in the near-term, medium-term, and possibly long-term.

Technical analysis considers price activity based on chart patterns and uses indicators to mathematically interpret stock price movements. It includes trend lines, support, resistance, volumes, and channels.

Stock patterns from the past often repeat again in the future. We discuss the reasons why this happens. You also learn to recognize when prices are not behaving normally and it is time to get out of the stock with whatever gains or losses you have. Use a stop-loss for this purpose, to lock in gains and limit the downside risk.

At StockTimer, we believe both fundamental analysis and technical analysis have value, and the best approach is to combine them. There are lessons on both throughout the site.
