Fundamental Analysis is an interactive valuation calculator that provides six-month price
targets for stocks specified by users. It has been developed with the prevailing valuation
methodologies utilized by leading Wall Street firms. This valuation is based on combined
data from over a dozen fundamental variables that significantly influence stock prices,
including interest-rate and cash-flow information. While some of the parameters are set
by Tradetrek's historical data, traders can customize the analysis by modifying five
important underlying variables: long-bond rate, inflation rate, P/E, sales per share, and a
one-year Dow Jones Industrials (DJI) outlook, a leading measure of market sentiment.
To use this model, the user first types a symbol in the upper-left corner of the Tradetrek
textbox. Hitting ‘Go’ loads the five modifiable parameters are loaded from database. Once the
user changes the parameters and hits the ‘Calculate’ button, a six-month target price will be
generated, along with an opinion on the value of the stock compared against the S&P 500 index.
