I feel like fundamental analysis is completely useless

This has nothing to do with technical more of the flaw of fundamentals. Anyone coined that term "Don't catch a falling knife"? Is that when a stock is going down and you're buying it?

If the balance sheets of a company look good but the stock is going down, wouldn't it occur to you that you might be missing something? And doesn't that mean you are going AGAINST the market. Which every "professional" says not to do?



That's because we never hear from the ones that fail. Nobody ever does. And this is not excluding technicals - people who lost fortunes on technicals are never heard from also.




That's not exactly what the situation is... I'm saying what if your fundamental research looks good but the stock is trending down. Would you still buy it based on your fundamental analysis?

these questions are better for warren buffet and all the other graham and Dodd acolytes.

There are literally hundreds of "fundamentals" parameters.
It has been shown that our brain cannot process more than 5 parameters at the same time. Beyond that level it's all confusion.

Look, I have no idea what you're talking about with this brain parameter shit, but when you can decide for yourself what headlines make a difference in the market then you will be on a better track. You got that Felisha? Good, now let's shut our fat mouths and see if we can learn anything else on here....
 
I think its healthy to understand fundamentals, you get a deeper perspective and less likely to be rattled by noise which comes from technical only traders who like leemings rush back and foward following the crowd who are following the crowd. (Chasing their tails directionlessly)

You obviously do not have a clue about the number of parameters that a fundamentalist must process to make trading decisions : Income statements, balance sheet, cash flow statements, earnings per share, return on assets, soundness of capital management, value of the managers, impact of new products, annual dividend payout, P/E ratio, company press releases, domestic political conditions, trade agreements and external politics, competitor analysis, Price-to-book (P/B) ratio, return on equity, beta of the stock, etc...etc...etc...

You truly believe our brain can process all these parameters at the same time?

Give me a freaking break
