What does a chart have to do with the company operations?, its business?, its assets?, its miles of undersea cable carrying data? Maybe we should rely on a 'chart' of revenue? Or a 'chart' of route miles? Or a 'chart' of connected cities, continents, countries? Or a 'chart' of what it cost to put these assets in place? Or a 'chart' of successfully spun off investments of GX? Or a 'chart' of corporate customers? Or a 'chart' showing increasing cash flows? Or oh maybe, just maybe the key chart might be the company's valuation imposed over all the above charts? Picture one line down, all others up. So which is more important in the long run. A chart based on today's perception (the one going down) or the many charts based on the companies and managements operational performance (the many pointing up). Or are we to beleive that price charts run the company, lay the cable, collect the revenue, and make management decisions? Management doesn't run the company, forecast the business decisions, etc. Its just all in the one disfunctional chart and the magic eight ball. Yeah right. Where in the hell did people learn this crap? Was it in broker school or something? Under the Chapter "Quick and Easy Investing: How to invest without knowing a thing about the company." In this chapter we will teach you how to use the magic eight ball to sell crap out to your customers,; and help them make buy and sell decisions with the least effort and most minimal thought processes required. No need to try to learn the fundamentals, who cares what the company actually does, never read a financial statement again. For as long as you live! Why learn about the company, when the magic eight ball knows all.......................
