Well, if NFLX was overpriced when it was at +/-$50 then the metrics used to conclude that, at that stage, missed out on the opportunity of a potential Capital Gain of 300% over a 15 month period. I don’t know about you, and others, but, personally, I would have been satisfied with half of that, viz.150%, over the same period. It's total non-sequitur. You can take a random stock that went up 300% and make the same complain: "OMG, how come you did not buy this? Your metrics must suck! You missed out on the opportunity of a potential Capital Gain of 300%! Change your metrics now!" How about WAMPQ going from $6 to $20 in last two weeks? Why did YOUR metrics miss it? (Don't answer it's a pref stock of a bankrupt company, your metrics don't even apply). Don't you see how silly such questions sound? Let me repeat one more time: Overpriced stock can become ridiculously overpriced. Lucky you that you have a paper gain on that and get to crow about it. Does not make you an expert in my eyes. Other people can make their own minds. I am not discussing metrics again with you, because you are stuck to what you love and denigrate everything that you don't like. It's not worthwhile to discuss things if other person's mind is closed and he repeats the same song again and again. Good luck.
