Dishfan, Well there is overlap to be sure into fund and tech. Depends where you draw the line. Below would be standard boiler plate of what financial players look at when coming up with a valuation but it's all based on the cash. CSCO was a good one for that in the late 90's

Would include accounts payable and receivable, asset book value, capital expenses, cash flow, cash on hand, debt load including commercial paper, depreciation, dividends, ebitda. equity, good will, gross and net margins. Liabilities short and long, patents and value of, price to book, price to earnings and price to sales, peg, stock options, R and D costs and taxes. And I would guess worldwide markets for some.

You can get a valuation base or company worth from this. Or determine a over or under valued stock based on what is not showing in the earnings. The basic difference is the fundamentalist track what they believe will be, financial players track what is.
