Quotes

[08:18] - "Most money managers are schooled in the principles of fundamental analysis, capital asset pricing theory, dividend discount models, and other traditional fundamental analysis techniques. Unfortunately, almost 90% of active managers underperform their benchmark using the tools they learn in business school." ~ David Lundgren

[09:30] - "The market is the best fundamental analyst on the planet. Listen to what the market's trying to tell. And the best way to do that is to identify trend change and stay with the trend as long as the trend changes and goes in the other direction." ~ David Lundgren

[26:58] - "There's a big hole in the body of knowledge of most investors, which contributes to their difficulty in keeping pace with the benchmark. That hole can be filled with a better understanding of technical analysis." ~ David Lundgren
