here's what I think is a doozy question,,,,
(again I'll use IGAI as an example)---- we all read the posts and like to see a stock at its bottom provided it has some positive indicators of a run in the near future......
So IGAI reaches a 52 week low -- and again and again and again ---
Is the 52 week low a good indicator along with good news and revenues etc... to make me buy buy buy??????

A very good response, ten of something.
This is why "model" trading almost always fails, in the long run.
We are plastered with all kinds of advertisements, email, internet and especially late night tv which taunt riches instantly through books, software, through seminars at the Hilton.
None work.
Markets are very dynamic and shape shift according to thousands of externalities. You bought software three years back which guarantees riches. That software does not compensate for today's energy costs, changing sentiment about Iraq, loss of consumer confidence, inflation, on and on.
There are no dedicated methods which work.
A combination of your mind and your experiences is the only method which works. Traders must adapt to constantly changing conditions, often changes over hours or days.
This is why keeping ahead of world news, national news and local news is critical. Clearly keeping ahead of business news, daily, is very important.
Beyond this, deep and intensive research of a potential company is significantly critical as well as keeping daily tabs on the company.
Your comment is right on target, ten of something.

no one can predict the stock market... regardless of trading method.. past results doesn't necessarily predict the future in trading.... only in blackjack is this possible because if you can balance high cards to low cards you can reasonably predict if the next batch of cards is either/or ... anyways in trading the only reasonable method without trying to predict what the market or a stock will do is to identify the "trend" and go with the trend.. whether up or down.... you've all heard the old saying.... The trend is your friend...
