Is counter trend trading a disease?

Quote from Redneck:

Price is Always right - just sayin :)

The market is always correct.

The trader partners with the market and has an obligation to always folllow the dictats of the market.

Quote from marketsurfer:

pointing me to exactly where Fama/French prove exploitable trending behavior in stocks. I betcha you can't do it. surf
I already did. It's the momentum dataset 'Momentum Factor (Mom)'. 85 years worth of trend following evidence in equities. I rest my case.
 
Quote from Redneck:

Price moves the way it moves

To make money we must be on board with it (assuming we don't RTM trade)

How can it lie?

it does what it does right in front of our face

We think different, It lies all the time, I particularly love it when I catch it lying against the predominant trend, it does wonderful moves when questioned :)

Price is the only transparent aspect of the market.

Perhaps you can highlight your versions of price lying from a chart.

Price is as true as Momma, apple pie and the 3 J's. (Don't tell them RN.)

LOL Rod--- these trendies will hang on anything, no matter how outdated or weak, to defend their faith. Thanks for the hard numbers showing the market facts.
