IQ,,perhaps it's my own experience in the market as a wide eyed young boy,,with thoughts that stock mkt = money,,,,but,,,not that that isn't true ,,,however I believe that it's not quite that easy,,,,I read this many years ago,,,in the market game,,,85% lose,,,10%break even,,,and 5% make all the dough,,,,I grew up to find that, as being fairly close to true,,,,,the fact that the tables seem to be overturned now ,IMHO, should give someone pause,,,I think that when the public, who until lately, are mostly unaware of the stock market, that the fundamental values are irrelevant, in the fact that usually most stocks,IMHO, trade for much less than they are worth,,,unless their is a takeover ,,then the # crunchers get in there ,,,,right now there seems to be a public takeover of every company,,and of course the # crunchers will gladly value it ,,as long as they can pay for it...
