OT Brian, let me begin by saying that I appreciate all your postings on this and other threads. Because of you and others I have an absolute wealth of fundamental information upon which to make decisions. In return I would like to suggest that you look at some form of technical analysis to help with your decision making. It can not hurt and can help. To put this in context in the mid '70's I became a broker with a major broker/investment banker on WS: heavy in Harvard MBA's with detailed fundamental analyses of the various companies that were followed by a highly respected research department. That was when the DJIA was at 1000. A year later that research department was a joke to the brokers in the firm who by then only followed one analyst: the market technician. Why? He was the only one who had a clue as to what was going on, a bear market that ended at 500. His advice to the brokers had been to sell (or short sell) the stocks the research department was recommending.
I don't think that there is any one method that can be relied upon to give us the answers in the market but I think Zeev Hed puts it correctly when he says that if the FA and the TA disagree, follow the TA. By not even looking at it you do yourself a disservice. BTW Zeev understands the fundamentals of this and a variety of other industries far, far better than most investors.
