A portfolio for your retirement savings

"Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism and die on euphoria". Legendary investor John Templeton one of the contrarians believed that the best bargains are available when the investing public is fearful. Not to mention another contrarian investor Warren Buffet whose key to investment success is to be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy.

The current financial year saw Indian markets bull run coming to a halt and the financial markets correcting almost 40% from it's peak. Lot of pessimism is surrounding the market regaining it's lost glory with crude oil trading way above the three digit mark and the inflation number touching 2 digit mark. People are surprised to see bank deposits giving two digit return after a gap of almost 7 years. High inflation weakens investor sentiments as it slow downs industrial growth and also brings down the mega expansion plan the Indian corporate world is undertaking.

Fundamental Analysis

Fundamental Analysis is the cornerstone of Investing. In fact, some would say that you aren't really investing if you aren't performing fundamental analysis.

During fundamental analysis we look at a stock from three aspects

Company

At the company level, fundamental analysis may involve examination of financial data, management, business concept and competition.

Industry

At the industry level, there might be an examination of supply and demand forces for the products offered.

Economy

Fundamental analysis might focus on economic data to assess the present and future growth of the economy.

To forecast future stock prices, fundamental analysis combines economic, industry, and company analysis to derive a stock's current fair value and forecast future value. If fair value is not equal to the current stock price, fundamental analysts believe that the stock is either over or under valued and the market price will ultimately gravitate towards fair value. Fundamentalists do not heed the advice of the random walkers and believe that markets are weak-form efficient.
