Re[2]: Salomon Smith Barney Technical Analysis is gone

Seems like I caught some flak the last time I got into this but here
goes.

TA is looking at charts and indicators and is about timeliness.

Fundamental analysis is looking at the numbers and any and everything
about the company.  It does not include timeliness in the
recommendation to purchase.  So a guy visits the company or reads up
on it and says there is value here we should buy.

Short and real simple definition.

   Yes... but i would think that at a company like Salomon Smith Barney
   they could atleast have proven themselfs to be worth more than the
   fundamental guy's.

Aren't fundamentals just old and accepted means of 'Technical
Analysis'?

What are considered as 'fundamentals' has changed over the years, the
fundamentals of the 1920s are no longer around, they were replaced by
newer concepts, which would show up as TA nowdays.  I think it just
shows that a good TA for todays world requires more than the simple
math of yesterday.
