It depends on whether the individual is selecting the stock for trading or for long-term investment. If the individual is trading in stocks, then there is no need to spend a lot of time on fundamentals. Rather, here the person should read charts, trends, patterns etc and get more involved in the day-to-day market activity.
On the contrary, if the person is investing for the long-term then more time should be invested while studying the stocks. It is essential to check the fundamentals of the company, its management, financial, competitors etc if the investment horizon is of more than 1 year.
