What is the difference between fundamental analysis and technical analysis?

Fundamental analysis involves evaluating a company’s financial health — looking at earnings, revenue, debt, management quality, and growth prospects — to determine whether a stock is fairly valued. Technical analysis, by contrast, focuses on price charts and trading patterns to predict future price movements, largely ignoring the underlying business. Many successful investors use a combination of both approaches: fundamental analysis to identify quality companies worth owning, and technical analysis to help determine the best time to buy or sell.

What does ‘due diligence’ mean when investing in shares?

Due diligence refers to the research and analysis an investor should carry out before committing money to a stock. For share market investors, this typically includes reviewing a company’s financial statements, understanding its business model and competitive position, assessing management quality, and checking for any recent ASX announcements or news that could affect the share price. Thorough due diligence helps investors make more informed decisions and reduces the risk of being caught off guard by problems that were knowable before investing.
