Subject: Fundamental Analysis

A method of securities valuation involving attempts to estimate instrinsic value based on facts, such as relevant economic, financial, and other qualitative and quantitative factors, including macro-economic and industry conditions, and the state of management and finances of a particular company.

Fundamental analysis can be applied to any type of security.
