The basics

Fundamentals simply mean that underlying foundation on which other things built (for example the price of the share).

If a company keeps growing, the price will grow above every limit no matter what a graph shows. If a company keeps making greater and greater losses and shrinking, no level in price is low enough to "support" it.

Long-term

Fundamental analysts tend to invest on the long-term because on the short term greed and fear changes the price. That is supply and demand changes the price. But it is fundamentals (the basics) are need to support a price.
