Thanx for your constructive comments, Spekulatius. It certainly doesn't surprise me that an investor, such as yourself, readily acknowledges that "HANS's fundamentals look excellent". HANS’s short term fall is what it is. Personally, I don’t sweat the short term movements in a stock’s price if I’m confident about the current, inherent Quality of a company’s Fundamentals. After all, nothing has been lost or gained if one still has ownership of the stock. In addition, I don’t believe that I’ve ever "touted" my own investment methodology as being "infallible". Surely there can’t be much, if anything, within the ambit of Stock selection and analysis that could be deemed "infallible", even by the most optimistic of investors. As a "seasoned investor" I’m sure you’re likely to agree with that. You may consider that the "returns" I’ve referred to may not be consistently achievable. That’s your opinion, and you’re entitled to it. I, and others who use this strategy, happen to know differently. IMO, however "seasoned" one may be, I believe that one should always be prepared to consider the possibility that there may be "another way" of doing something, or that there may be the possibility that one can glean something from someone else that may enhance, or improve, on what one already knows. Suffice to say, I had reason to mention, sometime in the past, what sort of Annual Return I get on my investments. Due to the incredulity of some Board Members, I saw fit to give some indication as to the modus operandi of my investment strategy. This was, in no way, to dictate to anyone how they should approach the Market. That is entirely their own choice and their own business. I believe I’ve CLEARLY made that point many, many times in the past. FWIW, I certainly believe that HANS would be a good buy at "around $25" (should it get there) for a GARP, GAAP, IFRS or any other type of investor !
