    Whichever makes you more money, that's the easier one.

  5. If you're talking "value" you have to talk fundamentals.
    Just because somebody paid X for something doesn't mean that it's actually worth that price. People get great deals for things or overpay all the time.

    You can study the "price action" on a $100 million dollar deli all you want, but a quick look at fundamentals is the things that's going to stop you from getting your face ripped off when it reprices to it's actual value.

    ,,Police in Thailand have arrested an American man linked to an alleged stock market conspiracy that left a deli in New Jersey worth about $100 million.

    Jirabhop Bhuridej, commissioner of Thailand's Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), told the Bangkok Post that Peter Coker Jr was arrested on January 11 in a hotel room near Surin Beach on the island of Phuket.

    Coker Jr was on the run from authorities after he, his father Peter Coker Sr, and James Patten were allegedly involved in boosting the value of shares in Hometown International, which owned the deli, to give the company a valuation of as much as $100 million."

    I've never put a whole lot of stock in fundamental analysis(no pun intended). So many times I've seen this or that highly-trained analyst go on and on about a particular companies awesome spreadsheet,debt to earnings ratio, quarter over quarter EPS,blah,blah,blah and the stock STILL tanks hard over the next 12-24 months. It's a sucker's game.

  9. Almost impossible to trade with FA... unless you're giving the benefit-of-the-doubt to some "story"... and you are correct.

    With "Price TA", you KNOW when the market has changed from buying to selling and vice-versa. Nothing else is matters. :)
     
  10. Good Morning easymon1,

    Price action is much more easier.

    Why do I say this?

    My answer
    Fundamental Analysis can lie to me. Price action will never ever ever lie to me. With price action, what you see, is what you get.

    Also, with price action, I have ALL the control of decision making, I am the boss of my decision making in real time. The CEO news article does not affect me.
