    that question concerns an individuals level of risk moreso than their ability based on FA or TA

    if your style of "Investing" is to buy micro caps....then yes you may have more stocks that are 5 baggers than someone who trades indices or majors.....but those 5 baggers are because of your high risk investing style, not because of your method of analysis

    if my style of "Trading" allows me to make 10% on each trade on a stock that has a several billion dollar marketcap.....and i make this trade 50 times (not including compounding).....then which approach is better? i have not achieved a 5 bagger in a buy-and-hold sense, but the result is the same....and it is achieved using less risk than is present with micros

    of course TA can be successfully applied to small caps to achieve 5 baggers too, i am just highlighting the error in your logic
