RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Technical AnalysisI guess we are reading the same thing and coming to different conclusions. From your source:
O’Neil continued to innovate throughout his career. He created Daily Graphs in 1972. This is a printed book of stock charts which continues to see weekly deliveries to subscribers. Then, in 1973, he founded O’Neil Data Systems, Inc. as a means of providing database publishing and printing services. O’Neil combines a mixture of both quantitative and qualitative strategies in his performance-oriented investing approach. In brief, his investment style is to seek out only those growth stocks that have the greatest potential for swift price rises from the moment they are purchased. Clearly, O'Neil is not searching for under-valued companies in the same way that Warren Buffet does. As you pointed out, Buffet doesn't use charts. He doesn't trade stocks either.

He relies on fundamental analysis. He's not a technical analysis trader. I should have looked him up as soon as you mentioned him to make sure he was actually a technical analysis trader.

He follows a similar pattern from the opposite standpoint when the overall market direction is going lower I think. Sorry, I am still learning.
