Promises, promises <VBG>

My humble contribution to the thread on valuing a stock and forecasting the future price of a stock:

analyticalbooks.com
techstocks.com

My initial grentle response:
techstocks.com

More from the author:
techstocks.com

A more pointed rely to the author:
techstocks.com

And his final inanity:
techstocks.com

wherin we learn that:

Mathematically there is no reason you can't consider the stock price to be a function of the price/book ratio and equity/share instead of the other way around. You can forecast the price/book ratio in the same way you forecast the return on equity a firm earns and the firm's growth rate. Once you forecast the growth rate of equity/share and the price/book ratio, you have implicitly forecast future stock prices.

There is every reason why you can't consider price to be a function of the historic price/book ratio! This approach confuses input variables (price of the stock and equity per share) with the response variable (price to equity).
