Technical Analysis vs. Fundamental Analysis

Re: Technical Analysis vs Fundamental Analysis

I wonder if you can use tech analysis to estimate how long we are going to live??

Fibonacci extension? 1.618 x mid life crisis?

Yep there is !.
I used to have it on my desktop its called ( life counter ) I think, you just answer its questions & it tells you your date of death.

Because of my lifestyle I deleted it long ago. :drink:

Re: Technical Analysis vs Fundamental Analysis

Julia,

If you always heed your stoploss regardless of the fundamental situation, doesn't this incur an excessive amount of brokerage if you are trading frequently?

Yes if one is overtrading. But the opportunity cost (the cost of having a drawdown in favour of another stock that is performing) may be more costly for those who don`t overtrade.

Snake

Hi Snake,

Yes, of course. My original question was prompted by a concern that there appeared to sometimes be a blanket hard and fast approach advocated by TA devotees which doesn't necessarily apply to the longer term approach of some buy and hold investors. Nick clarified this difference really well.

Cheers

Hi Analyst

Looks like you can

Did a quick google after Bobby's post and found this site:

Click here to calculate your Life Expectancy

It asks you a few questions, and it's best to be honest I guess , and it will will then calculate your theoretical life expectancy.

Hopefully it won't have already passed

ps...sorry about digressing

Re: Technical Analysis vs Fundamental Analysis

Thanks for the link. Just checked it, should live to at least 96 years old!

Re: Technical Analysis vs Fundamental Analysis

Mine said I should live til the ripe old age of 54. Only the good die young.

 

[GreatPig]

Re: Technical Analysis vs Fundamental Analysis

Mine said 97, but I had to put my parents down as living till 80 as they're still alive and neither are that age yet (but the other choices were all early deaths).

Apparently my main negative factor is my gender. Looks like I'll have to change it if I want to live longer

Cheers,
GP

87

At least I'm not as bad as that evil ob1kenobi!

Re: Technical Analysis vs Fundamental Analysis

Sorry Julia

looks like we've derailed your train of thought earlier in the thread

hopefully some of the carriages can be put back on track with normal services resuming shortly.

sorry...

ps.......for the record mine was spot on 80

Re: Technical Analysis vs Fundamental Analysis

ha ha

yea I had a gender issue to WayneL so I might cya round at the plastic surgeons.

There was no "do you ride a motorbike" question though so I think the test is flawed. If there was I think I would already be techniqually dead.


Anyway I only got until 81 so I guess I better get out there and live a little more (might go for a bike ride without a helmet).

 

[Julia]

Re: Technical Analysis vs Fundamental Analysis

I've just done the test. Doesn't look good - it declares I shall be around until I'm 102!!

This is mostly due to my genes - grandmother died at 105, grandfather at 99, father committed suicide at 94 but would have lived many more years.

I'd better rethink my financial plans!

Re: Technical Analysis vs Fundamental Analysis

your a smart bugger Joe Blow!!!

Please Dears, If you do remember your simple arithmatic to do your accounting and fundamental analysis, you might remember your basic english grammar and know the difference between your, and you're.

your is the word you use when relating to you or yourself or yourselves especially as possessor or possessors <your bodies>,

you're is a way of joining a pronoun (you) and a verb (are) with the apostrophe as a tool to indicate a missing space and letter. "You're" almost makes a little sentance on its own but uses an abstract noun as an object - like daft as in "You're daft!". Or, "You're a smart bugger Joe Blow." - And indeed he seems to be a smart chap.

Each word, your and you're, has a unique sound if pronounced correctly. Methinks that Tech/a and others here, being math types do not know how to use the aspostrophe correctly so don't use it at all. Or is it because you are using Dragon Naturally Speaking which listens with an American twang and types incorrectly?

Thanks Mrs. Mallins, we need a defender of the language around here! I'm a stickler for correct grammer, pronunciation and spelling as well...even if my own transgressions are all too common.

I hope you don't mind me pointing out that "arithmatic" is spelt arithmetic.

I know I am now setting myself up for numerous corrections, but I don't mind. English is a fine language and we should adhere to the highest standard as far as possible.

However, one of the best attributes of we english speakers is the forgiveness of language sin. As we listen, we fill in the blanks for others who aren't so proficient. We shouldn't lose that trait either.

But jeez, we're getting way off topic here!!

Cheers

Boy, was that a funny thread or what!?

 

[Garpal Gumnut]

Re: Technical Analysis vs Fundamental Analysis

I think it is now time to address again whether TA is better than FA in stock analysis.

I'm watching Comrade O'Brien on the 7.30 Report interviewing some Hong Kong based Yankee fundamentalist who is doing more analytic contortions than Houdini.

Is anyone still using Funnymentals or have you all finally come to the Nirvana of chart analysis?

I use charts but still get funny sometimes. Speculating take over / capital raising etc are some examples.

I think funnymentals can be applied the same way as technical analysis.

My fundamental analysis showed that XYZ is a good business and profit may go up. So I went long. They release a bad revenue report and therefore invalidate my analysis. I exit my trade.

My technical analysis showed that XYZ shows a ascending triangle so I went long on break out. It was a false break, they released a bad revenue report and my stop got hit.

Same same...

Re: Technical Analysis vs Fundamental Analysis

Did Fundamental Analysis give any warning that this was coming?

Would Technical Analysis picked up that something wasn't quite right?
