Who in their right mind can't do the simple math that you could have sold back then and turned around with the same amount of money and now own 3 times as many shares? Denial isn't just a river........ As original and informative as these "TA roolz" vs "TA sucks" debates are, maybe we can give it a rest. No one's mind is going to be changed--but everyone will suffer from thread bloat. I'm more than willing to listen to folks propound the TA arguments against NTAP (I'm a FA-er myself); it's their thread too. But I'm really not interested in having the merits of TA preached to me. I imagine I'm not alone here. Ethan

Who in their right mind can't do the simple math that you could have sold back then and turned around with the same amount of money and now own 3 times as many shares? Who in their right mind can substitute the past tense with the future tense and be right most of the time with most of the money? Your hindsight is brilliant but of no use. THe only lesson is "buy low, sell high". Thanks for the "I told you so". I suspect that your flaming was a result of a rejection of your trader mentality versus the LTBH mentality that tneds to dominate this thread.
