If only The Trojans had been better at reading entrails, maybe Troy would still be standing today. Well I do believe that over the next year there will be some big news coming out of ESA so we would appreciate it here to get your fundamental analysis.

Well actually (been mulling this over in my mind FWIW <g>) For me the stock market is like tossing a coin. 50-50 unless you do something to (at least marginally) improve the odds. Indeed I do feel strongly that excellent detailed fundamental analysis like you perform (and provide to us) definitely gives one another 10% or so up. And over decades of stock trading and/or investing that makes a big difference. However I do believe that chart reading is also very useful. I do believe it gives us another 5-10% up/ I do find things in charts that indicate the future action of stocks better than just flipping a coin Add some good careful fundamental analysis then you are well armed to go out there and duel to the death (like Sir Gallahad) in the stock market. You can still get killed (in the stock market) but the combination of astute chart reading and thorough fundamental analysis gives you a much better chance to stay alive and even thrive. All very much IMO
