Food for Thought

[From: Soros, The Crisis of Global Capitalism, PublicAffairs, New York, pp 49]

The fundamentals [of a stock] that matter are in the future. It is not last year's earnings, balance sheets, and dividends that stock prices are supposed to reflect but the future stream of earnings, dividends, and asset values. That stream is not given; therefore it is not an object of knowledge but of guessing. The important point is that the future, when it occurs, will have been influenced by the guessing that has preceded it. The guessing finds expression in the stock prices and stock prices have ways of affecting the fundamentals. . . . A company can raise capital by selling stock and the price at which it sells will influence earnings per share. The price of the stock also has an influence on the terms at which the company can borrow. The company can also motivate its management by issuing options. There are other ways in which the image of the company as represented by its stock price can affect the substance. Whenever that happens, the possibility of a two-way reflexive interaction arises . . .
