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.
