MJ had a simian pet called Bubbles. That's all I can contribute. Oh, and there was a song sung by the now rarely seen Anglo-Indians titled, "I'm for ever blowing bubbles".

Quick question:
Do you know of a 40 p/e stock of a non - cylical company?
If yes, do post here...... (no extraordinary event stocks please)
It'll be interesting to track their prices.

A quote from a guru during 1960s go go year
“short-term investing may actually be safer than long-term investing sometimes, and the price action of the stocks may be more important than the ‘fundamentals’ on which most research is based . . . portfolio managers buy stocks, they do not ‘invest’ in corporations.”

The mind is quite malleable. It is possible to rationalise anything. Short term, long term, concentrated, diversified, growth, value.
As some other guru said, "Enjoy what you do".

When there is a gap between perception and reality, it is only a matter of time until the gap is reconciled.
