>>>> Susan - I couldn't totally follow your haiku, but ZITL was (is?) a story stock. With APM, there no longer is a story.

!!!!

but that's the whole point

ZITL is a "has been"

the story is over

it's no longer a "story" stock

and yet

it arises from the dead

point being....if there's hope for zitl, there's hope for APM

but

not yet <ggg>

>Rudy, that makes you sound like a TA'er. Shame on you!<

Thanks for the compliment my friend :-)

PS: Seriously, I think the Ben Graham Era is dead, at least for now. I mean analysis based on fundamentals. You know why? I think we are in a "punctuated equalibrium" (as Lester Thurow stated) era when nothing is stable. All stones are moving and constantly rolling to find their new positions. During such time fundamentals change quite rapidly too. As a matter of fact at an accalerating rate. I put less weight on fundamentals than technicals in my investment decisions.

The term "fundamentals" changes too. It is not how much cash you have now. It is not if you got tons of assets. It is management, it is knowledge, it is intiution, it is creativity, it is innovation. Those are not yet easily put in equations. Until our accounting catches up with our business, we will lack means to incorparate these tangibles in our fundamental analysis.

Until then, I am a TA'er first.

Take care all.
