Well, I don't really care whether the broker wins or not. In fact, I wish everyone could win. What I care about is whether I make money long term. And despite the recent setbacks, I have made a fair amount of money over the last 20+ years of investing. To answer your question, though, there are many ways to value a stock. The one I favor most is discounted cash flows. That is as close to fundamentals as you'll get with the myriad valuation models I've seen out their. But even discounted cash flows has its flaws...having to make assumptions being one of them. But that's forecasting for you.
