Fundamental analysis is the examination of the underlying forces that affect the
well being of the company, industry groups and companies. As with most analysis the
goal is to develop a forecast of future price movement and profit from it. At the company
level, fundamental analysis may involve examination of financial data, management ,
business concept and competition. At the industry level their might be an examination of
supply and demand forces of the products. For the national economy fundamental
analysis might focus on economic data to asses the present and future growth of the
economy.
Fundamental analysis is a method of evaluating a security by attempting to
measure its intrinsic value by examining related economy, financial and other qualitative
and quantitative factors. Fundamental analysis attempt to study every thing that can effect
the securities value including macro economic factors and individual specific factors.
Three phase of the fundamental analysis

economy of a country, more so in a free economy that of United States and to some
extent in mixed economy like ours.

INDIA CURRENT ACCOUNT
Current Account is the sum of the balance of trade (exports minus imports of goods and services), net factor income (such as interest and dividends) and net transfer payments (such as foreign aid). The balance of trade is typically the most important part of the current account. This means that changes in the patterns of trade are key drivers in the current accounts of most of the world's economies. However, for the few countries with substantial overseas assets or liabilities, net factor payments may be significant . Positive net sales to abroad generally contributes to a current account surplus; negative net sales to abroad generally contributes to a current account deficit. Because exports generate positive net sales, and because the trade balance is typically the largest component of the current account, a current account surplus is usually associated with positive net exports. The net factor income or income account, a sub-account of the current account, is usually presented under the headings income payments as outflows, and income receipts as inflows. Income refers not only to the money received from investments made abroad (note: investments are recorded in the capital account but income from investments is recorded in the current account) but also to the money sent by individuals working abroad, known as remittances, to their families back home. If the income account is negative, the country is paying more than it is taking in interest, dividends, etc. For example, the United States' net income has been declining exponentially since it has allowed the dollar's price relative to other currencies to be determined by the market to a point where income payments and receipts are roughly equal of trade forms part of the current account, which also includes other transactions such as income from the international investment position as well as international aid. If the current account is in surplus, the country's net international asset position increases correspondingly. Equally, a deficit decreases the net international asset position.
India Current Account chart, historical data, forecast and news. India is leading exporter of gems and jewelry, textiles, engineering goods, chemicals, leather manufactures and services. India is poor in oil resources and is currently heavily dependent on coal and foreign oil imports for its energy needs. Other imported products are: machinery, gems, fertilizers and chemicals. Main trading partners are European Union, United States, China and UAE .

IMPACT OF BUDGET ON TELECOME INDUSTRY
The Finance Minister has announced the allocation of Rs 2,400 crore from the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF) to subsidize mobile, Internet and landline operations in rural India.
With the government planning to subsidize construction of 11,000 telecom towers across 2.4 lakh villages, the road ahead for the rural sector seems smooth.
These steps definitely promise greater spending on telecom infrastructure in around 3 lakh villages which are yet to see the telecom revolution.
According to budget estimates, for 2009-10, the government expects to collect Rs 48,335.33 crore from the telecom sector, with 3G spectrum sales contributing 75% to the total. In FY 2008-09, the government's receipts from the sector stood at Rs 13,174.29 crore.
The industry is also elated about the CVD exemption on the manufacture of cellphones and accessories.
The industry's happiness did not last long with Pranab Mukherjee announcing the increase in Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) from 10% to 15%, which came as a huge blow to the sector.
The broadcasting segment can cheer. There is a small decrease in duty for LCD panels from 10% to 5%, which will bring down prices by a maximum of Rs 3,000 per LCD TV set. LCD TV shipments that stood at around 1.3 mn units in 2008 are expected to grow in excess of 50% year-on-year as the preference for flat panel televisions continues to soar amongst Indian viewers.
However, the industry in general seems happy on the increased spends on robust infrastructure upgrades and on rural areas, which will possibly add another chapter to the telecom story in India.
The purpose of industry analysis is to review prevailing conditions within specific
industry and its segments. The company's industry obviously influences the outlook for
the company. Even the best stocks can post mediocre returns if they are in an industry
that is struggling.
“It is often said that a weak stock in a strong industry is preferable to a strong stock in a
weak industry.”
To assess the industry group potential, an investor would want to consider the overall
growth rate, market size, and its importance to economy. While the individual company
is still important, its industry group is likely to exert as much as, or more, influence on
the stock price. When stock move the usually move as groups; there are very few lone
guns out there. An understanding of the industry sector involved, including the maturity
of the sector and any cyclical effects that the overall economies have on it, is also
necessary.
The followings are some important factors which should be considered in
Fundamental Analysis
Growth: A growing industry gives room for profitability.
Profitability: Average profitability of the industry should be attractive.
Demand-Supply: the wider demand supply gap, the better is the industry’s
fortune in the future

The purpose of company analysis to analyze the financial and non-financial
aspects of a company to determine whether to buy, sells, or holds onto the shares of a
particular company
After determining the economic and industry conditions, the company itself is
analyzed to determine its financial health. This is usually done by studying the company's
financial statements. From these statements a number of useful ratios can be calculated.
The ratios fall under five main categories: profitability, price, liquidity, leverage, and
efficiency. When performing ratio analysis on a company, the ratios should be compared
to other companies within the same or similar industry to get a feel for what is considered
"normal." These are quantitative factors of company analysis; there are also some
qualitative factors which should be considered also.
Find out as much as possible about the company and their products.
Do they have any “core competency” or “fundamental strength” that puts them ahead of all the other competing firms?
What advantage do they have over their competing firms?
Do they have a strong market presence and market share? Or do they constantly
have to employ a large part of their profits and resources in marketing and finding
new customers and fighting for market share?

After you understand the company & what they do, how they relate to the
market and their customers, you will be in a much better position to decide whether
