Sorry Doc, whatever your qualifications in neuropsychology, you are revealing your ignorance in the basics of finance. Comparing Tava to a bank account for valuation purposes is absurd to begin with, but to contend that Tava deserves a higher P/E because it is riskier is dead wrong. Are you familiar with the concept of earnings yield (i.e. E/P)? That's what you should be comparing to a fixed income investment and it must increase to compensate for increased risk. Higher risk -> higher E/P -> lower P/E. I was merely stating facts. I said nothing about my personal risk tolerance. Given your totally erroneous assessment of my motives, maybe you should be brushing up on your psychology instead.
