MrB, your optimism is infectious...

>the market is going to crash-'n-burn, we're all going to die, and life is nothing more than birth, school, work, death...but that's just me being optimistic)

You forgot to mention taxes and verbal pollution put out by politicians. Other than that, I like your "neo-optimism". :-)

>My gloomy thoughts on the market don't keep me from being in it -- as long as I carefully choose companies that are completely on top of their competition.

Analyzing the competition is certainly an important component of doing a fundamental analysis. It's possibly a concept all-too-often overlooked by many individual investors.

>There are some successful investors who use TA as their
primary tool. Speaking for myself only, I would prefer
to use my own experience as the primary tool, because that
gives me a head start on selecting stocks which are worth
my time considering. Then, TA would be a great way to
calculate the in and out points.

Yes. Use your experience and FA to get in the right ballpark. Once there, use TA to time the bat to meet the screw ball / curve ball / fast ball / change-up (whatever) to knock a homer.
