MB, a joke on the difference between technical & fundamental analysis

I can't remember where I picked this up, but I think you'll find it funny..

A fundamental trader and a technical trader were watching the late evening news. A story appeared about a man preparing to jump off the roof of the Wrigley Building in Chicago.

The fundamental trader bet the technical trader the man would not jump. And sure enough as the story concluded it was a false alarm. The fundamental trader felt guilty about winning the bet. "You know," he said, "I knew the guy wouldn't jump because I saw the story on the morning news."

"Well, I saw the same story on the morning news too," said the technical trader. "But according to my charts, it was impossible for him to not jump on his second attempt."



just passing some time on the last day of classes... hopefully, finals won't disrupt my partying too much
