<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1155437, member: 3011&quot;]I started as a diehard value investor for many years and like it a lot.&nbsp; But after closely examining technical analysis, I realized that trend following is just as good and is actually based on the same principle as value investing.&nbsp; Some of the other technical techniques aren&#039;t clearly good or bad, or at least I can&#039;t understand them well enough to use with confidence.&nbsp; I&#039;m also a fan of some mechanical investing systems, [as was Ben Graham], which work better than either value investing or trend following in some markets [particularly in rigged markets] and remove some of the emotion from investing [but DCA isn&#039;t one of them].</p><p><br /></p><p>If someone has the time to do it, it might be best to use value investing, trend following, and a mechanical system at the same time for different parts of the portfolio.&nbsp; Diversification of investment techniques isn&#039;t something you read about very much, but IMO can be even more useful than diversification among investments because different methods work at different times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
