<p>[QUOTE=&quot;model77, post: 1482745, member: 34102&quot;]Is a stocks value in any way pegged to the companies actual value? I know little, but presume it to be based on buyer/seller sentiment. If a companys profit&#039;s increase a billion dollars the share holders do not see a penny of that (excluding possible dividends) correct? The potential buyer has to GUESS that this increased profit will improve buyer sentiment and offer to buy your stock from you at a higher price than you bought it for you to see a profit. For you to agree to sell you would have to GUESS that the buyer is wrong and that the wise choice is to take his money and run. </p><p><br /></p><p>In each case you are both GUESSING. educated guess or not. each time one of you will have to be wrong. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not advocating 100% pm here. I do hold a mutual fund and an IRA. My household income will double at some point if my wife ever FINISHES grad school. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> At that point I can better diversify.</p><p><br /></p><p>For now I consider building up a core stack a priority. If inflation hits really hard I may be able to avoid the soup lines and keep my little girl clothed. If inflation does not hit really hard I will be able to carry on just fine with my regular salary and the price of silver will not hurt me(other than opportunity cost), no matter how low it goes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
