I typically spend about a minute or less looking at a chart, because I have learned them that well. But when I dig deeper, it can take 30 minutes to an hour to really form an opinion with detail.
Charts are fun and informative, because they include everything about the company. They include all of the relevant information about a company's earnings, new products, management and so on. It is all incorporated into the price of the stock.
