It makes more sense to GUESS what future earnings may be on your wonderful business?
I was about to edit my post and add that, but I thought it got the point across. You are right though.

Remember, all that really matters is price. Price, pattern and time. Where do you find that?
Why pattern?

I wouldn't care about pattern if I could have bought Wal Mart or Washington Pos in the 70's, or Microsoft in the 80's. A pattern doesn't matter because a business is a business, and if a business makes good money over time, the stock price will reflect that.


And you'll find price in relation to the company's fundamentals, not just out of the ticker price. A company having a share value of 5-10 dollars (think Ford) may be a bad investment, and buying a share costing 3,000 may be a good buy (think Berkshire), or vica versa. The stock price alone tells us very little.

Trade what you can see, not what you think is going to happen!
If you are into trading, that's well and fine. But I thought this was an investment community? There are plenty of trading forums, I imagine..
