John, Why did you stay in hiding for so long? :) I try to use a price-independent valuation method and then create a price. Price-dependent valuation methods have their faults, but I don't think it's that they are dependent on price. I also think the DCF valuation method is a good one, but not because it is price-independent. For those who don't understand DCF as much as you and others here do, DCF isn't dependent on the price of the stock but it is dependent on a different price. At its root is the discount factor, which is the price an investor is willing to accept for the percieved risk. --Mike Buckley
