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

I was wondering if they have discovered stuff such as, "when a one hundered dollar stock is up 75 cents in the middle of the day, the expected value of where it will be this time tomorrow is $100.45. Because there is a good chance the 75 cent rise was a statistical blip." Roughly speaking. If so, a company with their resources can grab some of that 25 cents sitting there. If I am right it means that they are using pure price movements to help them make money. It wouldn't help any of us though.

No offense, but that was fairly nonsensical.

Besides, if you think a 25 cent move doesn't help anyone, you're mistaken. A few 25 cent moves per day captured adds up to a very comfortable living.
