Fundamental Analysis vs Technical Analysis 🤔

[BERUS]

I’ve been learning about the stock market and often come across two major approaches =Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis.

From your experience:

Which one is easier to learn and apply?
Which approach gives better results in the long run?
Is Fundamental Analysis better for investing and Technical Analysis better for trading?
Can someone become consistently profitable using only one of them?
Do you think a combination of both Fundamental and Technical Analysis gives the best edge in the market?
Is there any situation where using both together consistently outperforms relying on just one approach?

Which would you recommend starting with and why?

Would love to hear insights from traders, investors, and anyone who has experience using either approach or both.

Technical people believe: “If something good or bad is happening in a company, the stock price will show it first.”

So they trust the price more than financial statements. “Bhav Bhagwan Che”

Fundamental people believe: “Markets are sometimes wrong, and I’m smart enough to find those mistakes.”

So they study businesses and try to profit from mispricing.

In simple terms:
Technical analysis = “The market is smarter than me.”
Fundamental analysis = “I’m smarter than the market.”

Both camps think they have an edge.

And the market regularly proves both wrong.

I will not recommend anything but advise you learn yourself and choose your path.

Both will work if you are experienced in it. Fundamental analysis doesn’t mean just being able to read the statements or rating agencies’ reports. For example, If you work in that industry and know the trends you can use it to your advantage. Technical analysis is the same - it’s just not being able to identify a pattern here and there or draw the trend lines. It’s knowing the ins and outs of your strategy, of your patterns and setup, position sizing and risk management.

In both it’s not superficial knowledge, but in depth knowledge. No knowledge is better than half knowledge.
