You make valid points...but wouldn't it be possible for investment firms or banks to short their own inventory of stock simply to trigger stop losses and essentially gobble up shares of nervous investors who have stop losses put in, and then simply reverse the trend to the upside? I'm just trying to figure out why the SP is so low. It just seems undervalued to me, or am I missing some key points that I need you guys (on this forum) to help me out with understanding this.
