Interesting, but consider that a CEO who did not predict a growth in earnings would be out on the street before lunch. The fact that there are earnings, as opposed to losses, should be enough. So I detect the stink of greed, and probably a detachment from reality.
Why did the stocks take off? Could it have been a stronger batch of coffee or more sugar in the donuts? Or some other equally scientific insights suddenly shared.
A very lively set of comments, both useful considerations and interesting insights and all of it making sense. Profound advice that is durable and not just pointed at something current in the last 2 minutes.
"Past performance does not guarantee future performance." We see that very frequently in a prospectus statement. So it is not a promise, but often a good hint as to where a company is headed.
Thanks for an interesting and educational article.
Thanks for an interesting and educational article. The force behind some trends is sometimes not so obvious, or at least not totally clear. And some trends can be missed entirely.
I see an increase in interest rates as a really needed push back towards more rational thinking in many areas, and thus a very welcome trend, if it really is a trend.
Free credit pushes things in a wrong direction in many instances, both in building and i buying, at least that is what I see now. So hopefully the trend will continue, and bring about some more responsible activity.
Quite a detailed set of advice, and all of it reasonable. My take is that to actually make a profit on the rise of share prices, one must sell those shares. Otherwise it is just potential wealth, a collection of valuable, not very liquid, assets. And the challenge of selling is always that it requires buyers, folks willing to pay that higher price, for whatever reason. Without the buyers, one just owns a bunch of impressive numbers, usually a challenge to spend.
