I look from investing point of view, a penny worth that I invest my money I joint a penny % of the company share holding, let say I bought more than 50% of the total company share holding I might join as a substantial holder and start managing the company activities and at the same time enjoying its profit in the of either dividend or paper capital gain or just acting as a sleeping partner to that company. The lower price that I could buy sharing the % of the company holding the better worth my investment value that I invest to!

This shows you did not read one of my earlier comments about this point.

I said one must separate a company from its shares.

Though they are intimately related, a company and

it's shares must be treated as two separate entities.

This is because a company's fundamentals, etc

can be excellent and remain the same at any stretch of time,

and yet it's share's price can fluctuate over a very wide range.

And this market fluctuation in price is what people are betting on

to make money. The market is the market.

Demand and supply, both rational and irrational,

is what the market is about... Smiley

A 'general trend' or 'major trend' or 'dominant trend'...

All these can never be predicted by anyone.

Of course trends can be very easily identified,

but only after the event, ie after they have been observed to be formed...

Of course the 'super long-term trend' must be up... Smiley

Livermore ( Date: 01-Dec-2010 23:01) Posted:

That is not quite the way. You should be able to identify what is the general trend

iPunter ( Date: 01-Dec-2010 18:27) Posted:

I said "if he"...

and not that we are in a bear market...

Nobody can know whether we are in a bull or bear market...

which means, we can of course be in a big bull market now... Smiley
