Hello Gator fan, do you think them Gators will win the championship this year?

>>>I buy stocks in companies with ideas or products that
will change the way we live or do business.<<<

Does this qualify as TA? I guess the meaning of TA has been broadened <G>

Both FA and TA are important. If you are a long term investor(say over 5 years) then FA should be more important. On the other hand if you are a trader (one day to one week) TA becomes much more important. You really do not have time to study all those fundamentals when you day trade. Timing is everything in short term tradings.

So let's not waste time fighting which is more important. Personally I rely 60% on FA and 40% TA. (Incidentally 60% of my portfolio is for long term investment and 40% is for trading)

Regards,

Another Gator fan.
