And really, it all boils down to strategy and proven theory, investors like Warren Buffet weighed heavily on debt (amongst other factors), whereas some investor groups may not even take debt into consideration. I know this isn't a direct answer to your question, but I do recommend heading over to investopedia.com, here is a link to a great tutorial on fundamentals, perhaps this can lead you in a better direction! 
Fundamental Analysis: Introduction |
Thank you so much for posting back! Yes I am just really getting deeper into investing and I was wanting to know how to evaluate, like you said, fundamentally versus technically. I will definitely check out the tutorial at investopedia as soon as I'm done typing! I've been there many times before to look up certain investing lingo but I guess I didn't catch the tutorial on there.
This may be stupid to ask too, but when you say debt you mean like what the business pays for capital compared to what they earn right? I certainly know of Warren Buffet, but how exactly does he take that into consideration as a strategy for building such large company with Berkshire? Thanks!
Thanks again for all your help and info. I'm like a sponge on this board, I just soak it all up!
Dave
