Fundamental Analysis - Trading Based on Economics

Fundamental analysis is considered to be the classic way of investing. It revolves around the theory that no matter what happens in the short term, eventually the price of your investment must follow the economic numbers. Fundamental analysis takes things into account such as interest rates and economic reports.
