technical vs fundamental analysis for a stock investor

technical vs fundamental analysis fundamental ratios and View financial ratios that are used more for people who like FUNDAMENTALS. Technical analysis comes from the belief that you predict price patterns in securities and that you can actively guess that the same price patterns again and that certain technical's like moving averages and such tell whether a security is overbought or sold.


This in my opinion just isn't true!! While it is true that some traders make money, the vast majority don't and the ones that do I don't think use technical's much because they would all go broke. I think that successful trading comes from the ability to find a situation in the stock market, where certain things happen that over 50% of the time they happen something else predictable happens. Most technical's are NOT this way, and try to predict at any given time where a security will move. Risk Hedging may be used to minimize risk CLICK HERE

For instance I know that a lot of people have told me that they have had success trading stocks that are low in price like 2 to 5 bucks and then if they shoot up like 30% in one day (they sometimes do) then you short sell them at the TOP. I have noticed that many times this market glitch works becasue people sell after it hits the top and then it collapses in price. HOWEVER trading is always a risky business and there has been debate over technical vs fundamental analysis for years. Something many people find interesting isContrarian Investing CLICK HERE
