self fulfilling prophesy, page-15

My 2 Bobs worth -
TA and FA are tools that should be used in conjunction, with emphasis on TA - gives good entry/exit points, and proves a good safety net - FA is probably more suited for companies with standard PE ratios and a longer term outlook etc (where as TA can be short, med, long, or long long term).

Also, I reckon FA makes it easier to get emotionally involved with a stock - "its going down down down, but the fundamentals are good so I will just wait till it comes back up..., while TA is saying trend is broken, support is broken - get out asap"

Over the last 6 months (at least) the guys on the XJO thread have been using TA going back to 1900 to model the current market - and they are a pretty successful bunch from what I've seen.

Anyway, I reckon everyone should know how to use both. They are both good tools - its what you do with them that makes the difference...
