why today's plunge, page-67

Sivart(and others),is it your thoughts that technical analysis is useless and that there is no such thing as a successful long term day/swing trader? I'm new to stock market investing/trading. I've been 'lurking' in the background for about 5 months on this page because y'all's insight seems to be much more educated and thorough than the LNGLF or LNGLY forums I've come across. I live in Lake Charles, Louisiana and jumped on the LNG train in May. Everyone around here has full confidence in this company. I've read several investing books and I'm trying to educate myself more everyday. One thing that has my brain boggled is fundamental analysis vs TA. It seems that there is some conflict as to the validity of TA. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
