low, aha! Thanks, that's exactly what I was wondering about! The talking heads such as seeking alpha, motley fool, etc, right? Unless they offer a quantitative analysis based on margin or earnings trends, etc, then their opinions aren't worthy of determining a stock should be traded or entered, is that what you're saying? Using that info & opinion is like talking yourself into thinking a stock will be a good play, right? Who says those media heads know anything more than anyone else.
That much more narrowly defines the definition of "catalyst", thanks a lot. Let me know if my above comments are wrong, please.
I'm just trying to further define which non-chart factors you feel are worth using as trading catalysts and which aren't. Sounds like I need to bone up on analyzing financial Q filings.
