Honestly I do both. I buy what I think is undervalued as well as "jump on bandwagons" although I do much less of the latter. Isn't that what the issue is regarding TA vs. fundamental analysis i.e. what people like vs. what is undervalued? IMO though the "jumping on the bandwagon" method is much more stressful and leads to alot of buying and selling.

I'd rather buy what people like. They might never like your "value" stock. It won't go up if people don't buy it. You can never be sure of what "good value" is anyway. Companies lie all the time. Or they have an inflated perception of the worth of their product or patent or whatever. I don't see anything wrong with lots of buying and selling anyway. You don't get your profit until you close the trade. How does Walmart make their billions? Churn and burn, baby. The less time the product spends in the store, the more money they make.
