How To Pick Stocks To Invest In

So you decided to invest in stocks.

That’s great!

Here’s the problem:

There are approx. 6,500 stocks traded at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and another 3,500 stocks are traded on NASDAQ.

That’s a total of 10,000 stocks!

When I was new to trading, I didn’t know how to pick stocks to invest in.

Should you subscribe to a newsletter?
Or listen to the talking heads on TV?
Or should you try to develop your own trading system?

How Do You Decide What Stocks To Buy?

There are mainly 2 ways to pick stocks to invest in:

  1. Fundamental Analysis and
  2. Technical Analysis

In this article, I will explain both approaches and answer the question:
“Which is better: Fundamental Analysis or Technical Analysis?”

Let’s get started!

What Is Fundamental Analysis?

Here’s how to pick stocks to invest in using fundamental analysis:

Fundamental analysis means that you are analyzing the company’s “key performance indicators (KPIs)” to determine the true value of a company.
