I didn't know! I will admit it.

Better late than never though they say?

Either way, I thought it might be helpful to write about it as a good healthy reminder.

If you are new to ANY kind of investing, whether it is Bitcoin, Bonds, Stocks, Gold or whatever else you can get your cheesy hands on.

These are "the" top three market analysis definitions (and acronyms) everyone should know about:

1. Technical Analysis or TA

The most widely used and trusted of them all is looking at TA for help with making good calls. This is at least the sentiment behind the trading community and has been forever. 

The technical analytics for markets are very important because they measure historical data to make future predictions. Using this data we can create charts and find indicators that will help us determine whether or not we should make adjustments to our investment portfolio. 

Both for short, mid, and long term investing this is highly important! Check to see what your TA's say and also...

Find out what your TA's "actually" are!

2. Sentimental Analysis or SA

Thinking about SA and checking SA is a personal favorite because I like to be romanced.

Who doesn't like to be romanced, am I right?

Anyways!

This one here is just as important (possibly even more) as the other 2 Analysis points discussed here.

The Sentimental Analytics are interesting because they are largely based on how people feel about things both right now, as well as historically, and for future predictability. 

In other words, it is everything!

If there was no sentiment in trading, there would literally be no trading. 

Sentimental evaluations of a market are probably the best indicators for huge crashes or rises in price too.

Probably more so on the mid to long term side of things though unless you do a lot of day trading.

For example, when the World Health Organization announced COVID-19 was a global pandemic. They announced so on January 30th, 2020.

It took the prices of all markets roughly 30 days to react and start plummeting due to how serious.

That tells us how things are going to go for a little while or in some cases a long while.

When you buy something, you trust that it is going to work for you because you bought it. 

It's all about trust and patience! The rippin' and the tearin'! 

3. Fundamental Analysis or FA

*yawns*

I know this stuff can get boring and start to sound the same.

But listen to this!

What you are doing right now by reading this is learning the fundamentals of investing.

That should explain this one already! 

This is a tougher one to explain because it sort of just sounds like a more specific version of both SA and TA analytics from points 1 and 2 prior.

And it is! 

How does that corny saying go? 

Cannot spell Fundamental without having Fun?

Well, you also cannot spell Fundamental without the word completely "Mental".

Mental in a good way! Which can appear to be actually insane at first if you want to be technically speaking.

Learning the fundamentals of anything you do is always a huge benefit for you both in the short term and in the long term.

When we look at Fundamental Analysis we are looking each individual piece of information and data we feed ourselves every data.

Then our brains use these pieces of information to make decisions or predictions. 

When I look at FA for something I am looking at FA for many different things as well.

A good way to look at it is like this!

FA is the footwork you put in to try and educate yourself more about what you're interested in OR already invested into.

Reading articles on Publish0x is FA, checking on how Apple or Tesla is doing is FA, looking at any kind of chart is FA, doing your math, doing your taxes, and working on your portfolio are all FA. 

I really hope that this will help everyone continue their digital journey! 

If you are in a bind right now whether it is financially or because of this global crisis.

You are not alone! Hodl on if you feel like letting go!

Hope, faith, and hard work will always Moon.
