>> that is the difference between fundamental value and quotational value.

Allow me to point out another difference. "Quotational value" is a statement of fact at a given point in time, whereas "fundamental value" is an opinion based on an array of assumptions and unavoidably influenced by the preparer's personal biases.

>> a bear, or rather a rational person, looks at fundamental values...

A rational person/investor wouldn't be a bear or a bull. The rational approach would be to remain neutral, and attempt to capitalize on imbalances in the market.

>> crappy stocks like we have in certian amreican IT cos can rally like hell... but that doesn't change underlying value 1 iota.

That's true, but there will also be rallies in good stocks that will be sustainable. The 18 month bear market hasn't changed their underlying value 1 iota.
