What you should understand first
Use these concepts as a framework for further learning and research.
Business first
Revenue, margins, cash flow, debt and competitive position matter beyond daily price movement.
Sector context
A company can be affected by sector cycles, regulation, commodities and macroeconomic conditions.
Valuation
A good business and a good investment price are not always the same thing.
Liquidity
Liquidity affects execution quality, spreads and trading risk.
Corporate events
Results, dividends, splits, mergers and management commentary can materially affect prices.
Position risk
Individual stocks can gap sharply; avoid sizing positions as if every outcome is continuous.
