China Country & Currency Analysis Research Report ► (edit / improve) China (CNY) is a fast growing communist country with the largest population in the world. China's Fundamental Currency Analysis (short term investment): China’s currency is moderately undervalued. Purchase price parity shows that China’s currency is approximately 40% undervalued, however, the other three valuation approaches show that China is fairly valued. China's Value Investor Survey (short term investment): China’s economic environment is very unfavorable for long term economic growth due to the lack of economic freedom, government transparency, and the SWOT analysis. China's General Trading Partners: Indonesia, Pakistan, Norway, Singapore, Europe, the US are the top export partners, while the leading industry is industrial goods, usually for export. China's Commodity Trading Partners: China produces a significant amount of coal for use at home. The use of coal to provide energy leads to other health related problems. SWOT Analysis of China: The leading Chinese strength is their cheap labor, while the main weaknesses are political risk and corruption. Renewable energy has the opportunity to propel growth, while general pollution and an aging population could slow growth rates. China's Currency Trading Strategy: An undervalued currency, average investment flow potential and an unfavorable business environment leads to a neutral outlook for Chinese investments.

Technology Industry Analysis, Research & Ratios ► (edit / improve)
Industry Analysis evaluates the major industry characteristics that affect investments. Company specific factors drive the performance of individual companies, but macro-economic factors can affect the performance, stock prices, growth rates, and chart movements of any stock, currency, or commodity. All stock traders should review industry research before trading.
Warren Buffett Quote: "When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact." No matter the quality of your business, industry economics is an important factor in any value investing decision.

A professional evaluations can cost between $150 to $15,000. In order to understand an investment, traders must research industry margins, stock prices, multiples, news, growth rates, stock chart, and any other relevant measurement to avoid mistakes.
| Description: The technology industry broadly includes companies whose primary function is to create innovative products and processes. Information technology deals with the management and processing of information (see full technology description and competitors).
Profit Analysis: The best way to profit from technology stock investments is to find the most undervalued investments (Wall Street and Main Street buy ratings) during economic recessions. Those investments should be undervalued (see Wall Street on left side), and have high Main Street Common Sense investment ratings (see Main Street on right side). When an economic recovery occurs, technology stocks tend to outperform the general stock market, because consumers and businesses quickly resume spending on items they wanted, but resisted buying during tougher economic times. Eventually those investments become overvalued, because profits and stock prices increase past their fair values. During the last stages of an economic business cycle, just before a recession, it is best to sell technology stocks, because they are likely to decrease in price quickly. Technology makes the lives of consumers and businesses easier, but during tough economic times, people tend to work harder, which offsets the benefits of technology temporarily. Expensive (overvalued) stocks with low Main Street Common Sense ratings should be sold at any time to invest in better stocks. Two buys ratings are the best and two sell ratings are the worst possible stock investments. Trading Strategy: During economic recessions, consumers and businesses tend to cut back on technology expenses to save money during tough economic times. Less spending decreases business revenue and eventually decreases stock prices. During economic recoveries, consumers have more income and business investment needs, so spending quickly increases. Higher spending increases business revenue and eventually increases stock prices. During a longer economic expansion, discretionary income and business demand increases, but at a slower pace than during the recovery stage.
1 Investment potential (margin of safety) is a weighted average of the discounted cash flow (DCF), the enterprise value (EV) market multiple, and the Warren Buffett investment methods. 2 The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for the industry is a broad representation of the WACC for each individual company.
