I can understand your frustration. In the long run earnings and price move together. In the short run many other factors rule. I can remember a few years ago when Merck traded in the upper 20s and everyone said drug stocks should be treated as a utility. I bought in the 30s and waited two years before it moved. Then when it got to a reasonable pe I sold. The stock proceeded to double from there. Not because of a huge increase in earnings growth but because the funds all wanted it. Go figure. Anyway the stock market is not for the faint of heart and I have to look at the longer view for me to do well.
Good luck,
Robert D.
