You are wasting your breath, there is none so blind as those who do 
  not wish to see.
  
  For some reason having an aussie emial address discounts your comments 
  completely, why I do not know but it obviously does. 
  I wouldnt mind so much the negativity if it was based on personal 
  knowledge, however some fool the other day was waffling on about 
  "current acadenic thinking" and "broke university lecturers", the 
  same ones who are broke but teach fundamental business analysis. 
  At no point have I seen a poster say they spent the time learning and it 
  didnt work. But I look at it this way, on the other side of every trade is a 
  loser and I suppose if they werent there you wouldnt be able to take their 
  money off them. Look at the poster who said the markets were gambling, there 
  are millions of these poeple all over the world giving money to other people 
  who understand whats going on. Long live them all. Last week I warned a poster 
  about a share that she was championing had a 3 to 1 sell order ratio on the 
  asx, I recieved torrid abuse from another poster about being a tea leaf 
  reader, I was only reading what was clearly displayed on the screen live from 
  the ASX. 
  My understanding of fundamental investment is that falling in love with a 
  stock is part of the romance of investment for most people, Van Tharp in his 
  book "Trade your way to freedom" calls it the lotto effect, i.e you have put 
  your money up and now you hope that your ticket comes in. 
  Nice of you to drop by.
  
  PS, Theres a great saying I love to use on my kids when they are giving me 
  a bit of lip about some sage ( I think so) advice I am giving them , it goes 
  like this, No one is a prophet in there own land.  However I think we 
  should also add, particularly if they have an aussie email address 
:-)

  >I am not an Aussie ( yet ) Though with over 20% of kiwi's livng 
  and on the dole here in Australia I find it difficult to understand the biting 
  of the hand that feeds. 
  
  > I am of Indonesian descent, and a Muslim to boot. I am not a 
  liar ( and object to the cowardly slur ) and I am not allowed to recieve 
  interest on any investment. 
  
  >I trade very vigoriously and I do make money, very good money. 
  However being a Muslim means that I am only allowed to earn a comfortable 
  living from trading not build wealth. I came into the chat to help and dispel 
  ignorance about TA, however unfortunatly for "Jim" he prefers the ostrich to 
  the eagle ( or do Kiwi's stick their heads in the sand as well )
