I see comments like this, and wonder where are "the fundamentals" listed for beginners? Is there a online link where this is free common knowledge? Or is this exclusive college only paid info?
Not really an answer to your question but may lead to an answer (and I don’t work for them, etc). Visit fool.com, read, learn. And then read some more :-). Lots of podcasts, book suggestions, etc.
But you probably are not going to find a “simple” answer to how to look at the fundamentals and judge the value of a stock. “The fundamentals” are contained in such things as quarterly earnings reports. But it a mass of numbers. Understanding their relationships is the puzzle.
I've always treated the stock market like a night at the casino. Figure out how much you're willing to lose, and just go have some fun. I don't rely on it to "win big" and fund my retirement; I just assume it'll crash long before then.
Price the stocks yourself based on fundamentals and you'll see the market is way overvalued.

Take NO investment advice from me, as I've thought the market was overdue for a spanking a year or two ago!
