I agree, I've been converted over the last years that none of this information matters or is the reason the market does this or that. Stories are made up everyday for why it went up or down. So many metrics and it is a waste of time on a net basis for me. I'm focusing on one thing, price. Because price is all that matters. Risk/reward of taking a position on an instrument at a certain price, etc. Buy supports and sell resistances. Saving my energy for life other than the market. Keeping it simple.
