>> unless you a) are planning to take majority control of the company or b) are expecting to receive cash dividends the only reason to buy a stock is to eventually sell it to someone else at a higher price.

Fairly stated, kas, but the basis for expecting the stock to be more valuable and the time frame involved make all the difference between a trader's and an investor's approach. Since you based your evaluation of Q solely on the basis of recent market perception, I have, perhaps incorrectly, categorized you as a member of the trader community. And while I admire the conviction it takes to make decisions based on such ephemeral data, I choose to base my investment decisions on sturdier metrics.

Prosperous gaming to you sir,
uf

btw, thanks for the reading suggestions. Please allow me to recommend The Gorilla Game by Dr. Goeffrey Moore.
