I'm increasingly feeling foolish for trying to evauate companies and values hoping to find a double. I've noticed that even with some well connected people on this thread, the shifts in the DD industry have largely crept up on us. And we have such an investment of time and interest in these stocks, we are married to the busines-partly because it is understandable on the surface.
In the meantime, others get five and ten baggers by saying, "Gee, this is an area with a future", probably based on all the attention the area has already had and because any damn fool knows it will be bigger in the future. They buy without asking an obsolete question, "For what price?" and end up fat, dumb and happy.
The question is, do we only hear about the winners? Surely, someone was left holding the bag on the Linux stocks, on the business to consumer internet and all the other areas that have gone cold. Interesting article last week in the WSJ on the future of the B to B stocks with an real eye opener on how crowded even one small part of that space is (something like 30 start-ups in outsourced printing). No significant revenues and I'd suspect none could survive.
Bottom line. How do yu make money in this crazy market without being left standing when the music stops?
