I'm a doctor and remember psychiatry being largely nonsense. It tries to treat human behavior scientifically. Human behavior is too wildly unpredictable for this to be possible. Behavior modifications was in when I was in medical school. What nonsense. I think the same about TA. It's a lot of fun to think about but naive to depend on it very much. Can TA predict that a company's accountants are cooking the books? Or that some brokerage analyst is going to change his mind about a company?

I do use support and resistance levels as buy/sell signal. Of course, I've seen stocks plummet through their support, specifically PCNTF. And I have used IQ Charts scan to screen for stocks breaking out of their Bollinger Bands on triple volume. That's fun but time consuming.

I just subscribed to Investors Business Daily and have been screening for stocks with high earning/ROE ranks and low "accumulation" ranks. I bought ESRX this week because of this. But mainly for fundatmental reasons. It had record sales/earnings and is well positioned to benefit from medical care rationing.

In the final analysis, it's fundamental facts that drive a stock up or down.

Happy Trading!
