46,
That is where there's a market split between short term traders and real investors. Short term traders don't invest in anything, they gamble on price movements based on the chart or news on the day, then spend all their time telling everyone how they are a mystic and know the future of the share price.
For me, charts are helpful with long term trend signals, but they cannot replace a comprehensive knowledge of the company, it's markets, it's partners, it's clients, it's competitors, and the risks.
There's no such thing as too much knowledge when it comes to investing in something, but far too many have little or no knowledge because they can't be bothered to learn, and think there is a shortcut to being rich called short term trading, despite decades of research showing that long term investing batters it every time.
