Andrew, I agree with all of your points concerning perception. I doubt that one in a thousand investors takes the time to do any sort of meaningful, independent valuation. So the idea that a stock's price is based on sentiment is entirely accurate. So I take the view that since the stock price is a given (there is nothing I can do to change that short of selling out of the money puts) I must deal with what I believe to be the true worth of an equity. I tacitly assume that if you adopt a buy and hold strategy those issues of perception and sentiment eventually fade into the background. On the other hand, if you are a trader such issues are of vital importance. TTFN, CTC

re:perception/reality More like perception is reality. Andy, You understand. I rarely run into someone that gets it. All the money I have made in the market has been based on the following two conditions, the understanding of the above simple statement (perception is reality), and understanding the changes in the market before others. That last one is the hardest for me, searching for disruptive technology takes up most of my time. Once I have identified a change, the rest is easy. Greg
