Hello Hugh
Why use only one approach to share picking?
I like the three pronged approach.
Analyze the stock on fundamentals, then community (tips, rumors,
scuttlebutt
etc.), then charting (uptrend, downtrend, going sideways) then make a
decision
based on all three factors.
I'm sure the investors you mention all look at charts.

Damn, forgot to sign it again.

Regards

Richard
