Larry says in a post lower;
"Last quarter most stocks were down 50 to 70% on top line revenue but they "beat expectations" so they bought em. "

But provides no evidence for his surmise....just makes a random comment and ....nothing to support it.

some facts

Jan 6th 2010 The Naz market contained 2960 stocks with trading.

March 2000 the Naz market contained 4947 with trading.

Market lost 1987 floats in a decade....

Public still owns; in personal accounts & proxy mutual funds, 80% of the market float of publicly traded companies.

Current AVG Daily trading is on average quite close to March 2000,when 2.7 billion shares a day were spread across 4947 floats.

Hmmm, all that money, trading far less stock......comparatively...

Generalizations like larry's should not be left unchallenged. The gross complex at 2960 makes it easier, not harder, to identify relative performance. lets hope Larry has the balls to back up his absurd claim.

The term MOST in my mind is above 70%...that is 2072 companies to sift through, and identify 50% to 70 % top line declines.

hope larry can meet the challenge.
