Is Corvis truely worth $40 billion +? The likely answer is: No! But that doesn't mean the rest of FO is rationally valued. Typically, the value lies in selling to a Greater Fool, not in a realistic expectation of ROI from future earnings. CORV is the extreme case, but it is not alone, any more than "The Globe.com" was the only overvalued I-nut.
