Aus, it's worse than you think. Professional investors, most of whom come out of a business/finance/accounting background, do not understand technology or science issues very well. Consequently they base their evaluations on a set of financial rules, irrespective of the technology and the market for the technology. They invariably get into an investment too late, but once they've realized they're a little late, they try to compensate. Here's where the fun begins. They'll try to get some kind of expert to give the stock a low rating, hoping that the price will drop enough for them to buy in at a more reasonable level. Happens all the time. This is where individuals who are willing to gain an understanding of the technology and the financial fundamentals can do far BETTER than professional investors.
