    Fundamental -vs- Technical Analysis

    if fundamentals change drastically then the change will first be seen in charts. and TA indicators will pick it up. look at Enron, Worldcom. any TA idiot would have seen these stocks go below their 200 day MA before management decided that the companies where bankrupt. The problem with FA on...
