I’m a believer in efficient markets (that no predictable formulas can outperform the index over time) – with one compelling exception. That is, new formulas can make money in the short-term. As a formula is digested by the market however, holes in the formula are discovered and investors move on. But, I do believe technical analysis can give you a short-term advantage.

Technical analysis based solely on algorithms and computer programs in a bunch of junk. Although I’m sure some real people, especially those with a lot of experience in the market, can use that data to make some great predictions.

I follow some sort of algorith on when I should buy stock. I am not much of a seller. Other than looking at the P/E ratio vs the other stocks in their sector. I look at the past 12 months of closing history. When it comes around 20% of the lowest it has been I consider buying.

I’m not sure if there’s really an algorithm to find if something is a buy or a sell. There are definitely indicators but that might get you only a slight edge.
