We use our subjective minds to interpret figures in financial reports, and to interpret patterns in charts! No wonder that two different people might give completely different interpretations of the same chart or the same financial report!

Hence a good fundamental or techinical analyst (like your good self) would always use stop losses in case the market does not agree with his/her own interpretations/predictions.

One can always argue that the problem is not in the news or financial reports but in the subjective entity who could not interpret them correctly. Same thing can be said about charts my good friend :)

I am not saying that there is anything wrong with your opinion, but i believe that to say that news and report are completely misleading is a bit harsh :)

Cheers
