Why Technical Analysis is Nonsense
1) Find Stocks with strong fundamentals (valuation)
2) Identify catalysts (or lack thereof) for the company/sector IE competitive advantage, increasing product demand, cyclical factors, rising prices
3) USE TECHNICAL ANALYSIS TO IDENTIFY A PROPER ENTRY POINT (USUALLY MULTIPLE ENTRY POINTS IE SCALING A POSITION) AT KEY SUPPORT LEVELS
If you don't use technical analysis in relation to "scaling" into a position you are missing out on a lot of upside and better entry points. As far as I am concerned your article leads me to believe 1) You have never tried TA or worse 2) You have tried using it independently of fundamental analysis.
I would respectfully recommend taking down this ridiculous article until you fully explore TA for yourself...and for heaven sakes, realize it is only part of the puzzle. It should account for roughly 1/3 of your trading decision.
WellCare Plummets After FBI Raid
The article should read "trading within 10% of cash per share".
Points:
If this is anything like precedents of the "online education companies" not very long ago, shares could have a small rebound.
CrossProfit's point was spot on- the timing of the raid to the board meeting implies that the FBI had some hard evidence on individuals inside the company conducting criminal activity.
While Alan's point on value was well taken, I question why the stock is still trading at $30.00. Given Alan's $678m book value shares should be trading closer to $15.00, why the high premium>?
I would imagine they were overcharging, charging for people that no longer existed (deceased) and denying people coverage...inflating profits.
What do you think of the insider trades over the past year? Any comments on that?
