Ever wonder how professional investors decide which stocks to buy and, just as importantly, when? In this episode of Money Talks, we demystify the two core pillars of stock analysis: Fundamental and Technical Analysis.

Financial professional Veeral Kotak joins us to break down these complex topics into a simple, actionable guide for beginner and intermediate investors in the Canadian stock market. Whether you're looking at blue-chip TSX giants or emerging growth stocks, understanding these methods is non-negotiable for making informed decisions.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Fundamental vs. Technical Analysis: A clear, simple explanation of the core differences and why you should care.

• The Detective vs. The Meteorologist: A powerful analogy to remember how each analysis method works.

• Macroeconomic Factors: How fiscal policy, monetary policy (Bank of Canada interest rates), and inflation impact your portfolio.

• Industry Analysis: Identifying cyclical, defensive (blue-chip), and emerging growth industries in Canada.

• Reading the Charts: An introduction to key technical analysis tools like support & resistance, head-and-shoulders patterns, and moving averages.

• The Million-Dollar Question: Should you use one method or the other? We reveal how the pros combine both for a powerful investing strategy ("what to buy" vs. "when to buy").

This episode is essential listening for anyone pursuing securities education or simply looking to build a smarter, more strategic investment portfolio.
