Thanks for the good input. Glad it worked for you. I had read a little bit on support/resistance, higher high/low theory etc. But I find them very boring. ( In fact everything around technical analysis). As I said, I am not looking at trading. The idea was to use technicals for a better entry price.

Thanks for input. I want to keep things simple. So not looking at puts etc

Thanks. Very well said. I agree with you. I am actually passionate about non price data like cash flows, balance sheet, income statement, PE, EV/EBIDTA, etc. But I have seen a lot of long term fundamental based investors talking about using technical analysis (price data) to get a better entry point. In that context, I wanted to try technical analysis. To be honest, I dont like technical analysis. Find it very boring.

Thanks for the input

Thanks. You are right. It is quite complicated.

Thanks for the input. Nope. I never really liked options etc

No evidence. But I have seen a lot of fundamental based investors talking about using technicals to get a better entry point.

Thanks. Thats interesting. I have seen a lot of people follow this strategy. The problem is, what if the new high is the top?

Thanks. I think fair price is subjective. Gone were the days stocks had reasonable valuations.

therealdavesky , I am sorry to hear that. I suggest, dont get demotivated. Keep trying. I am sure you would find one. Good luck.

@all, Is this a general trend for experienced devs? Lets say, someone doesn't have a gap in resume and is well versed with the current tech, system design etc and the current employer is fairly reputed. (Say top 25 in terms of market cap in the US). Will this problem still hold? My understanding is that, at 20+ yrs experience, people expect us to be in leadership roles such as director etc. But then, not everyone can get to that level.
