fundamentals do very much count. Indeed, in the long run they are EVERYTHING.

One key phrase there is "in the long run". With the rise of on-line trading and daytrading, there are fewer and fewer folks out there who are in it for the long run. A lot of people seem principally concerned with "momentum", which explains the rise of technical analysis, which has always seemed to me but one small step removed from reading tea leaves or chicken entrails. But I'm in the wrong hemisphere for daytrading; I look at a 3-5 year time frame, so I look at fundamentals. If I was thinking 3-5 days, I might feel otherwise.

At the extreme end, there are actually people out there who buy and sell symbols, not stocks; some do not even know the full names of the companies or what they sell. Seems to me a dangerous way to play the game, but a lot of those people are earning more than I am. Which perhaps explains the lack of interest in this thread.
