KB: I beg to differ. Well a little as I agree partially with your view. FA & TA work. Just not all the time. FA works because you have to have some way of measuring a company’s performance. As a company grows the stock should grow with it. The problem is that accountants are allowed to tweak the numbers to say what ever they feel the public wants to know. I screen the stocks I may want to trade for fundamentals because there is a crowd that relies on FA and I need someone to sell to. TA works because it maps the behavior of the crowd. Patterns develop and repeat themselves more times than not. I agree that every indicator is based on what happened in the past but history does repeat itself. It boils down to this: Buy a stock When it goes up sell it. When it goes down sell it. If it stays the same sell it and buy one that goes up or down. FA If the stocks earnings trend up .the stock price probably will. TA If the stocks price is trending up it will probably continue up. This always works except when it doesn’t.
