Fundamental Analysis Books?

[Vadex]

Anyone read any good books on Fundamental Analysis? It seems the majority are on TA and for some reason I got turned off by it. Fundamental Analysis Makes alot more sense to me than TA. Don't kill me, this forum seems to be dominant with TA.

don't be ashamed of wanting to know fundamentals. In the end they are the real reason markets move. most people online will bash cramer but his books really do put fundamentals in a more tradeable view.

Most of us are short term traders where TA is much more effective. When it comes to investing or long-term trading though, FA should be your focus with TA possibly playing a minor or lesser role.

Personally as a trader right now FA would do nothing but destroy my $. It's often a long bumpy road, and I've seen/read many things about how FA lags worse than indicators. Traders care about what the market sentiment is as that's going to drive the price based on momentum and current supply/demand.

As a long term investor FA makes sense as long as you have a game plan that takes into account how long it can be till FA proves out (things like scaling in slowly). At some point I hope to do both trading and longer term investing but have yet to get much good input on FA. V8 Muscle knows a bit about FA...I hope he'll chime in here.

"Security Analysis" by Ben Graham is a great place to start. I've also read two Warren Buffett biographies (Lowenstein and Shroeder) and his Berkshire Hathaway letters to shareholders. This might sound stupid but I actually learned a lot about fundamental investing through these portals.
