Even the Press Guys agree – Technical Analysis WORKS

It’s not often Technical Analysis gets a good rap in the national press. I think this is because journalists like to write stories about the markets, so need a reason to explain a move in a particular stock or market, rather than just a plain old “more buyers than sellers” response.
