No offense taken.

Are you referring to analysts? I would agree; I never put any stock (pun intended) in their opinions. They are always late to the party. Or are you referring to the charts? In the LONG run, price will be determined by fundamentals, but the charts lead the fundamentals. By the time earnings are released, its old news. We often see stocks sell off after strong earnings, without any negative guidance. The postives are already factored into the price. Word gets out. Insiders exploit. They try to get cute by hiding it in the options markets but those moves are seen as well.

I wasn't a believer in technical analysis until I got buried in 2002. I missed a decent amount of wreckage in the previous 2 years, and thought I was being clever by getting back in. Wrong move. I was a good year too early. The market hadn't fully consolidated in 2002. But like most things in life, we learn from our past mistakes.
