Very well explained Mr.G. Though I strongly agree to the fact that fundamentals plays a vital role, I always believe that
Fundamentals is used to choose the right stock
But
Technicals helps us to enter/exit that stock at the right time.
Going buy pure fundamentals if we had invested in Tata steel, Bhel n other such companies our portfolio would have been in bigger loss by today.
However if we had exited tata steel, bhel at the right technical levels, we would have saved a lot of money.
There r 100's of examples we can show not to depend mainly on fundamentals. Even investment banks, M&A, n MFs go wrong with fundamentals, example buyout of Corus n Jaguar at a time when economic cycle was at its peak.
As a trader I do not ever care about fundamentals, I purely go by technicals, when my chart says what I should do then who cares about why is it says so.
As a investor, I care a lot about fundamentals because its not just a stock am buying, its a ownership of the company, the company that I wish I could own, be a part of. Like apple, microsoft.. When I care so much about the company I should equally give importance to the money am gonna invest. After all its my hard earned money, so I wait for right levels to enter n exit as per technicals.
