I buy on fundamentals and technicals. It's all relative, I guess. The only way to justify buying ATON on the "fundamentals" is by comparing its outrageous fundamentals with the even more outrageous fundamentals of FFIV, FDRY, and AKAM. Doughboy.

You're right there is no logic to it....but it works. (I am a trader.) People buy and sell for all kinds of reasons. Check out the bookstore sometime and browse through some of the trading books. Its amazing. People using astrology, Gann Wheels, all kinds of weird stuff and none if it has anything to do with a company either. What really gets me is you hear the pros and pundits always say you can't time the market and don't trade and so forth...and then look at the turnover rates of most mutual funds. Unbelieveable. They're traders too, and not very good ones at that!!!!
