Robert's underlying philosophy...
Nimble short-term investing!
...for trading and investing was refined somewhat by the GFC (2008-9). It is so important to look at different situations and ask "now is that sensible?". Use a blend of Fundamental and Technical Analysis. AND a Stop Loss to quit the losers early.

Funda-Technical Analysis Investing - types, styles, philosophies, approaches
There are many different approaches to studying the market - some are more "accurate" than others.
Charting, Technical Analysis and (Aussie) software
The underlying emotions of fear, greed and hope drive share prices, all of which are reflected in the share price charts and in the volume bars on the chart, and in the characteristics of candlesticks on a candle chart. And successive days or weeks of price movement can form patterns on the chart which also reflect the underlying market sentiment.
