Technical and Fundamental analysis can be different but both helps the investment process

Technical analysis and fundamental analysis are two different schools of thought. There are polarizing. In an efficient market, technical analysis should add no value.

Technical analysis is based on the belief that the market is not efficient. Technical analysts use indicators that are independent of the company’s financial condition. Fundamental analysts focus on the financial health of companies. Fundamental analysis chooses stocks to buy; technical analysis chooses when to buy for analysts who use both. Proponents of strong form efficient market theory and technical analysts are at opposite ends of the philosophical spectrum. – CFA Magazine

But I think there are times when the market is inefficient. This is when technical analysis is useful. More fundamental analysts are checking their charts. Charts provide a good overview of the markets.
Technical analysis is related to stock price and volume, whereas quantitative is statistically based, using excess return forecasting and fundamental indicators such as earnings, earnings trends estimates. Quantitative analysis assumes that an investment philosophy can be expressed as a statistical model.

Don’t fall for the tricks of advisors, buy the index fund

I hope to simply the process of investing among individuals. The investment sector is filled with fraud. As long as you buy or sell, someone makes money from you. And the world is consistently asking you to buy or sell. No one ever tells you to buy and hold forever, even though that’s the best strategy to induce the least cost.

I’m going to sure a few tips that you will find boring. But it’s going to save your life.
First, invest in an index fund. Never ever buy any collective instruments if possible. Any active managed fund will cost you an arm and a leg compared to a passive index fund. Run from anyone who tells you you can beat the market. No one can. If there is actually a fund with a superior strategy, it’s never going to last long before the market neutralizes it. Most likely you earn normal returns after cost.

Do not fall for simulated results. Be aware that most fund houses present results from a pool of funds they select – we call it survivorship biases. No one ever beats the market. There are great investors who existed in the past. But after taking their returns, adjusted by risk, the risk adjusted return also cannot beat the market over the long term.

Just buy the index fund. Please do not fall for tricks and sweet talkings.
