### Comment:
Don't use technical analysis in this thesis. What you're mentioning above is all fundamental analysis also...  
  
 Most finance professors think TA is complete bullshit, and will not appreciate it at all. Unless your friend can come up with some quantitative technical modeling analysis, avoid even mentioning the words 'technical analysis'.

### REPLY:
Interesting.  I thought TA was widely accepted stuff.  I'm an English major, so clearly I don't know dick.
