Markets have personality. They have tendencies. Momentum tends to continue. Overextension tends to revert. These patterns exist because people exist.
Great fundamentals plus great timing equals great returns. You need both, not one or the other.
The best trades are the ones where the fundamentals and the technicals are both screaming the same thing.
The chart tells you what market participants collectively believe. You ignore that at your own risk.
When long-term support levels break, the chart is telling you something that the fundamentalists have not figured out yet.
The goal is not to predict. The goal is to respond to what the market is showing you with discipline and without emotion.
Price and volume tell you everything you need to know about what institutions are doing. They cannot hide their buying and selling — it shows up in the tape.
The 30-week moving average is your anchor. When the stock is above a rising 30-week MA, you are in a bull trend. Below a declining one, you are not.
