New Year, Old Interest

I haven’t had a chance to post anything new in a while. Our holidays have been extended, seeing out of town family the past couple of weekends. I also just started my last semester of school at The Fordham Graduate School of Business. I will finally graduate in April (Hallelujah). I have been attending since September 2005.

I am taking a class called ‘Technical Analysis of Financial Markets”. This is probably the most interesting class I have taken yet. I have always been somewhat interested in the technical aspect of the markets, bust most of my studies have been on the fundamental side. The technical side makes for sense to me. It is pretty much “what you see is what you get”. There is really not that much guess work as with the fundamental side. 10 analysts might each come up with a different conclusion when looking at the fundamentals, while with technical analysis, 8-9 analysts out of 10 would probably be in agreement when they study the charts. It also helps with day trading or swing trading immensely, which is something I would like to do full time.

Well, I will post again soon.
