There's a common misconception about "Fundamental Analysis": People tend to think that the market should react in a certain way to news.

The market expected an unemployment rate of 4.8%, and the numbers came in better than expected: Only 4.7% (for details see http://biz.yahoo.com/c/ec/200614.html). That's good news, isn't it?

How do you put the odds in your favor You have to develop a trading edge using technical analysis, fundamental analysis, market internals, etc..

Journal Prime Rate Street Wall "Not surprisingly, Friday's equity trade was dictated by the March employment report. More specifically, it was the Treasury market's reaction to it that set the stage for stocks." ...
"A lack of negative surprise caused the stock market to breathe a sigh of relief."...
"The Treasury market had a very divergent reaction to the data, and it took the stock market down with it. For Treasury traders, the in-line data essentially provided no evidence that the Fed will be inclined to soon end its monetary tightening cycle."

Stock Investing Basics As I am writing these lines another news hits the ticker: Oil prices trading above $69 per barrel. But what does it mean? Should the stock market move up or down? Here's a discussion that I heard this morning: "As crude oil prices continue to plug higher the debate over what it all really means will begin again.

Or will traders fear that there's an economic slowdown which might result in lower company earnings? This would move the market down.

Stock Market Trading Now, how should a computer model take these emotions into consideration?
In my opinion there's no way, and I haven't seen any models (incl. artificial intelligence) that is coming somewhat close to this (sometimes really weird) human behavior.
