BTW, if you are interested in places to start reading. The obvious one is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Intelligent_Investor
Any edition is fine but each updated edition includes updated commentary on more recent examples relating to the original material as written by Graham.
More recently I've read (one of the ones I hadn't read in the past):
http://freshwaterinvestor.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/margin-of-safety-seth-klarman-ebook.doc
Seth Klarman happens to be the manager of the fund that is the biggest LNG shareholder.
There are of course many other, but these are the best places to start that I've found. Don't worry if you skip over many of the chapters and details on the first read (especially if you don't have any or much of a finance background), the point is to get a sense of what they are talking about and why. Also for anyone else from AUS (I realise you are from the US) don't worry if you skip over much of the detail about financial instruments which are much more relevant in the US market than they are in AUS.
For starting points into TA, I'm sure if you ask around on here or look around on the other threads in the many forums here you'll find some advice.
