"You want to criticize me, because I can't control a bear squeeze or a short run, learn something about TA and protect yourself. I do fundamental analysis, and in my personal opinion, it is more reliable. But that's my opinion. And you have every right to value my opinion at the value at which you obtained it, zero. Be my guest to do so.

But if you think that turning your loyalties 180 degrees because factors entirely outside of my control have any bearing on the quality of the information I've provided you, then please do not read anything more that I have to say. You just don't understand the need to decide for yourself, and how to accept full responsibility for your own investment decisions. You should flip a coin. At least then you can blame the coin, and still have it to spend. Blaming someone in hindsight for your lack of foresight doesn't reflect well on you."
