We sure have some food for thought on BV. After reading all the posts, I'm convinced I need to at least use it as another indicator or an area to look at as well as fundamentals, cashflow etc.

James- you did bring up something that I used to consider until I talked myself into believing that BV itself had no bearing on stock price. You pointed out that BV is carried on acquired cost. That is, bought 50 years ago. Someone else mentioned that some companies carry a higher BV. Here is where I get confused somemore. Does it mean that a company would carry todays market value for assets bought 50 years ago as BV ?

As you all know, some of these threads are nuts. This one is educating me.
