I am going to be out of the stock market for probably at least six months, and am thinking about learning about the basics of FA during this time. I've heard the term "intrinsic value" floating about, and would like to learn how one calculates this value.

I've done a Google search on calculating this "intrinsic value" and it threw up several thousand web pages, most of which at first glance seem to contradict each other. I was wondering if anyone on this forum could give me some tips, or point me in the direction of a web site which will have some good basic information.

I only really want to know the basics at this stage since I use TA primarily, so don't want to be reading through a 400 page book or anything like that. If anyone can help me out, that would be very much appreciated.
