	Fundamental vs. Technical Analysis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Fundamental analysis is based on the premise that any security (and the market as a whole) has an intrinsic value, or the true value as estimated by an investor.
		The art of technical analysis - for it is an art - is to identify trend changes at an early stage and to maintain an investment posture until the weight of the evidence indicates that the trend is reversed.
		Technical analysis is sometimes called market or internal analysis, because it utilizes the record of the market itself to attempt to assess the demand for, and supply of, shares of a stock or the entire market.

	Fundamental Analysis
		Fundamental analysts attempt to study everything that can affect the security's value, including macroeconomic factors (like the overall economy and industry conditions) and individually specific factors (like the financial condition and management of companies).
		The end goal of performing fundamental analysis is to produce a value that an investor can compare with the security's current price in hopes of figuring out what sort of position to take with that security (underpriced = buy, overpriced = sell or short).
		For example, an investor can perform fundamental analysis on a bond's value by looking at economic factors, such as interest rates and the overall state of the economy, and information about the bond issuer, such as potential changes in credit ratings.

	Essays: NISSAN MOTORS, A FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
		Fundamental analysis, in contrast to technical (chartist) analysis, is predicated on the belief that a firm's share price is determined by its so-called "core intrinsic value," or future course of earnings.

		By using data in a time series to compare the fundamentals of three similar Japanese automotive companies that are engaged in foreign tie-ups, we should be able to analyze the relative strengths of management in controlling profitability as well as the market's confidence in the value of their company's future course of earnings growth.
