paul..

very well put.

like the old adage says:

"past performance is no guarantee
of future return"

to me...this rings true for TA.
actually, it rings true for the whole
market place, but my personal preference remains FA.

paul.

Paul,
I generally agree with your assessment of TA being anecdotal. On the other hand it seems reckless, not to mention expensive to ignore strong sell signals. If volume starts to dry up & price stalls.....guess what happens. Not really TA, just common sense.

>All of the data suggest that market prices follow a random walk.

Paul,

If stock prices are random, then there is no need for us to discuss either TA or FA. The inference is that neither TA or FA makes any difference.
