>>135529069>xx/01Are you viewing January 2012, or are you actually trying to troll with 2001 stock graphs?
Either way, why is January relevant when a larger scale (I'd say a 5 year period is a the MINIMUM for an analysis) is needed when analysing stocks.
Stocks are finicky things. Stockholders, company performance, company image, company assets (assets=debt+equity), company material costs (i.e. steel prices going up would affect a car maker, etc), stock splits, economy recessions/depressions, advancement in technology, and consumer tastes.
Unless you people are FINANCE, BUSINESS MAJORS AT WELL KNOWN BUSINESS SCHOOLS, or are an ENGINEER WITH AN MBA/focus on MANAGEMENT/FINANCE (Industrial Engineering here) YOU HAVE NO ROOM TO TALK
Seriously, I've taken 3 economic courses and a couple of corporate business classes. These classes alone have let me 1) know how to run my own business 2) file my own taxes 3) keep track of a company's books (government filing, internal book tracking for taxes, depreciation and loss writeoffs) and numerous other factors involving stocks (no classes yet about how to BUY/SELL stocks based on speculation and data analysis)
Don't even get me started on the people who integrate BUSINESS WITH STATISTICS, they're all hired by Google now, literally. Google is what you should be scared of. If Google let some of their analysts call the shots and let some of their equity cash be liquidated and bought in to shares of various companies, they'd be fucked by the government so hard for monopolistic stuff due the sheer amount of brilliance and technology that is at Google)
I wrote a lot. Pls read some of it.
