One thing that's almost never mentioned on IHUB is that the Dow, SP500 and other major benchmarks of stock performance are at or near record high levels. It wouldn't do for "the marks" to know how wonderfully they could have done in a simple brain-dead index fund, collecting nice divs and seeing capital gains. And making wives happy as retirement approaches.
Even investors in quality stocks are so hyperactively trying to outsmart Mister Market that they severely lag broad averages.
BTW, sorry to imply that you were endorsing charting. Scam stocks are not the only problem plaguing IHUBers.
