What are your thoughts on whether TA is more dependable (though still highly tricky) when done on broad market etfs/indices, such as VTI or S&P 500, as compared to individual stocks?
Similarly, do you find it somewhat easier to pick out broad sector trends, as opposed to individual stocks? Such as commodities, bonds, entire market ETF, consumer discretionary ETF, tech ETF etc.
The reasoning is that in individual stocks, any number of idiosyncratic factors/players may shift the market significantly, but there are less of those factors for the broad market as a whole.
All this with the understanding that, yes, for almost all retail investors, you should more or less follow the bogleheads philosophy of dca-ing into broad stock market ETFs with some allocation to bonds as you near retirement to earn the 6-10% averaged stock market risk premium.
