Intrinsic value
Intrinsic value is the calculated value of the company and may differ from current stock price. If intrinsic value > current price, price increase is expected in the future to reduce the gap and vice-versa

ROE vs FD rates
Fixed Deposit rate is a virtually risk-free rate where the investor assumes almost no risk on their investment. If stock's long term average ROE is lower than this rate, investors are better off investing the amount in a FD

Dividend Returns
A dividend is the distribution of reward from a portion of company's earnings and is paid to its shareholders. Good dividend returns indicate good health and outlook for the company

Entry point
High demand for a stock increases its price. If the price is pushed up to a level which is not justified, then it's considered to be in the overbought zone, which is not a good time to buy the stock
