  Hi,
  
  I see a lot of buzz like.....specific names of stocks.
  
  Why not we talk on trading methodology. Because it's supposedly dangerous to talk on specific stocks.
  
  So....maybe I start the ball rolling first?
  
  TA. Technical Analysis. What are your favourites and how do you interpret them? How far, or what kind of limitations do u think TA has? How far would you describe yourself as a technician?
  
  And in TA, more specifically, are you a trend follower, or do you try to be a contrarian?
  
  etc.

  Hmm...My knowledge in TA is still expanding. Generally, I frown on TA as I believe TA is an inaccurate method to forecast prices.
  
  Trendlines are easy to draw. Signals are there to follow. But sometimes, trendlines defies logic.
  
  So I would just stick to FA as my basis for investing in shares. I would use TA only for speculative stocks which have cross the logical boundaries.
