<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 1168243, member: 3011"]You refer to the technique of technical analysis, which is only one approach to investing. And in a sense you are correct. Whenever you read a post here or elsewhere that talks about the chart indicating some particular future price level [up or down], you can be certain that the writer has no understanding of the subject. Charts will never tell you where the price will be in the future. All technical analysis is designed to do is tell you whether some action is warranted right now because the probability of gain looks hgher than the probability of loss. That is all it does. When people start believing the charts are talking to them about the future, they have moved into the realm of astrology. Please note that this isn't meant to disparage astrology in any way. There are a few investors around with excellent track records by applying astrology to the market. Go figure.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only way to get comfortable with the market is to study and start investing, at least on a small scale. It's like driving a car. No matter how much you read, there is a limit to how good you will be without getting behind the wheel.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
