Technical analysis always works great after the fact.
The technical analysis said to sell in mid-January.
Either one would have sold in January or gone short then.
Either way, technical analysis would have made money. No system works all of the time.
Following the news would be a good idea too.
No kidding. I see that chart has annotations leading up to Google's drop in share price, but if you can't explain the thinking along the way and act on it, what good is it? Please, someone help me out here!
