The number of points you have here is the least of your worries, OBS. Just keep the conversation going. People here seem to respect information and facts. Opinions are the fun part but they can get anyone on the opposite view of things. For instance, I don't know much about TA except that it is an analysis of past trading patterns. It is my opinion that there are so many million computers set up to buy and sell based on indicators that it becomes a game as to who can buy or sell in the split second it takes to capitolize on the minor movements, literally dodging bullets. This has set up false values with companies that cloud the true worth of the stock. Everyone knows that news trumps all. Thank God for that!! We all talk about manipulation but it seems to me that widescale trading based on TA is the cause of more manipulation than that of the true owners of the companies. They get the blame for getting stock prices up or down to certain levels for PP's and option accumulation, but this computer gaming with my investments is nerve wracking because someone sells my company because someone pulls the trigger and not because we have 100 mt of ore.
