Inept Securities Analysts

My comments for efforts of the so-called fundamentalist securities analysts who evaluate individual companies, seeking investment opportunities. Distinguish those fundamentalists from technical analysts.

It’s important that you make the distinction; one is involved solely with the operations of the company. The technician has little to do with how the company is run, but primarily with the movement of its securities or the overall market.

To complicate matters most of the time, too many analysts confuse their observations with both points of view. That shows a lack of discipline, which I’ve found is the prime reason most investors, pros and amateur, never get optimum odds. (See the Earl J.
