Chris, Your overstate your case when you say: "This removes any possibility of truly objective valuation and makes everything subjective. And when all is subjective, fair value is purely in the eye of the holder". I get your fundamental point. When I brought out the use of historical evaluation models, it was meant to point out just one aspect of how valuation models are developed.

Since there are so many industries and so many companies with different business models, the idea of using a fixed valuation model fails. Well enough on this. I will go back to lurking, Seppo
