As Snake says there is a difference between investing and trading and I grant you that investing on the basis of charting alone is lunacy.

Trading is a different matter of course. A trader can be successful by completely ignoring fundamentals, except, as Happytrader points out on the Pride thread, knowing announcement and ex-div dates.

I've traded as my sole living for over 5 years now and wouldn't know a fundamental if it fell out of a packet of cornflakes. (well actually I do, but I ignore them)

Charting Lazy? Hahahah you betcha, I got better things to do than pour over (possibly fraudulent) numbers. (Unless I want to invest of course)

So nobodies ever been suckered by the fundamentals? ROTFLMAO

Enron, HIH, Worldcom, etc etc etc hahahahaha
