Market survey finds traders prone to whimsy irish-times.com Financial markets are more driven by whimsy and rumour than by cold, hard logic, according to two researchers who have developed a computer model for stock price behaviour. The brokers would like you to think that wisdom and knowledge are all you need to make it rich but in fact the academics from Germany and Italy have shown that financial prices exhibit "universal characteristics" that resemble well-known laws of mathematics and physics. What it all boils down to is traders spend more time watching one another and chasing the herd than they do prognosticating the future. Regards JC.

Though unlikely, you point is very interesting. These days, stock options has became a very big deal to keep valuable employees. WRS has expanded very fast in the last two year, if the stock doesn't start moving up soon, turn over rate may move up instead. That will really hurt the company and us investors in the long run. Has anyone heard anything about employee stock repricing at WRS? I hope WIND can bounce back fast enough for this not to happen. If it does, maybe even the management is loosing confidence in WIND.
