Sounds like gambling to me.

Not that that's a bad thing. <g>

RE: "Maybe investors EXPECT the end users to get healthier SOON."

SOON has been a moving target, maybe a discussion of "heathier" with respect to current prices would be more useful.

RE: "It's all about EXPECTATIONS."

Expectations and current and future prices.

I have been looking at revenue forecasts at Yahoo research and I have noticed that yearly revenue forcasts are inconsistent with the forecasts for the next two quarters for the companies I follow.

I am more convinced than ever that the market is dominated by fools and charlatans. The fools are most investors and the charlatans are the analysts and corporate managers. I am happy to see that both populations of charlatans seem to be defendants in record numbers of lawsuits.
