I worked with an R&D shop in Washington DC and we were working with technology that was 20 years ahead of its time. Without a market to sell to or an audience that understood we knew we couldn't make any money so we ended up just dealing with what kept food on the table and paid the bills.
It was an exciting time in my life but at the same time deflating since we couldn't sell it.
I believe MediaG3 experienced that same situation.
Now with technology outdating itself inside of three years on average that is no longer the case.
That is an issue with reading charts. Sometimes there are drops based on news etc that only people following the stock would know. If you simply follow the charts you would have no idea why there have been different trends. The same holds true for any stock. The charts are useful, but doing your DD is the key.
