This is a post from another investment forum and then my reply, the poster below was responding to another poster that stated that, if a company didn't have earnings it wasn't worth looking at, that was the gist of it anyway.

HER REPLY
Well, it's certainly true that earnings are essential. But shouldn't you look beyond that and pay attention to what drives earnings? (i.e., good management, overall economic conditions, healthy competition, etc.) These are things the numbers don't necessarily tell, although they may be the result of such things.

It seems to me that to stay ahead of the game, you have to pay attention to more than just earnings.

MY REPLY
I agree with you whole heartily Kathy, take TSIG for instance, the earnings in the past have been weak, but now they have a new management team, (that by the way is doing one hell of a job)the economic conditions are perfect, TSIG's competition doesn't have a MUSIC CARD (competition being AMZN, CDNW, KTEL, NTKI etc).

This is the way I see it, the technicals for TSIG don't look very impressive, but the Psychological aspects are tremendous.
What does this news header bring to your mind?

I don't know about you but I see a potential 900,000
young kids all over the country selling MUSIC CARDS (that most likely cost TSIG pennies to print) for $10.99, giving TSIG huge potential earnings, and a massive sales force (already in place), with no cost to TSIG.

Heres how all this plays on my PSYHCE.
The kids will make money for their cause, costumers will save money because of the discount the card offers them, the company makes money from the cards and the sale of the CD's, due to the mass marketing the earnings get driven up which finally helps the share holders.

So it is an all around win situation, where by everyone is happy.
This is why I tend to look beyond the technical aspects and more towards the PSYCHOLOGICAL and EMOTIONAL when it comes to certain companies.
Let us not forget the driving force behind AMZN, it sure isn't Technicals that are driving it towards $400 a share.
