Default Re: Why are value investor types so rigidly opposed to TA?

i guess this really goes back to the #1 thing that spider said: wtf is TA??


[/ QUOTE ]

Off the top of my head TA is analysis of past "market data" such as price, volume, time of sales, quotes -- things provided by an exchange trading the product. Contrast this with fundamental analysis, which is concerned with the actual company, the economy, etc. My guess is that if you had a TA machine and could set it up to work it would not care if the instrument traded was cheese, a mega-corp, a barrel of oil, or a carbon credit.
