Subject: Re: An observation
I see the main thrust as "quant". Investment decisions based on measurable concrete inputs. "Technical" items (price and volume), "fundamentals" (financial statements and related). But the same thing applies equally to any "quant" approach to the broad market: using quant criteria to identify good and bad times in the market, which is the market timing end of things. Pretty much anything you could program a computer to do.

What doesn't really suit the philosophy is stuff that is based on news items or individual opinions. (I'm guilt of both, but hey, it's also a community, so sometimes people gossip)
