Corning Glassworks (GLW) would have been a great buy last year about this time when they were selling for $11 to $12 a share (yes I've been watching them for a couple of years). They're up to $19 a share now thanks to their Gorilla Glass & their contracts w/ Samsung & Apple who both use the Gorilla Glass on their touch screen devices (smart phones, tablets, computers, ipods, etc). I'd consider buying them now & expect them to top out in the high $40s to low $50s over the next few years.
Nautilus is an inexpensive stock that is probably good for dipping your toes in the water. right now they are pretty near their historical high. unless they have a new product they are getting ready to introduce or are expected to have some sort of new marketing campaign hit the airwaves, I really don't see them getting much higher than their usual $8 to $9.
I'm not familiar with the other companies & would need to research them further before I had any recommendations for you to purchase them.
but I'm a strong yes on Ford & Corning and a luke warm yes on Nautilus
as to the questions from "Wall Street"---yes, probably. it was the mid to late 80s & people loved having access to their early computer analysis programs because not everybody had them yet.
technical analysis is an attempt to game the system for short term gains & no it doesn't work. you'd make more money in Vegas putting all your money on red at the roulette wheel.
your best bet for wealth building are stable stocks that pay dividends or stocks you buy & hold until they are worth it for you to sell.

Also when I was watching the film 'wall street' bud fox says he going home to look at his charts, is this referring to technical analysis? and what is your opinion? does it actually work? alot of investors give it a bad name for some reason
