Critical question. Virtually impossible to answer! No doubt a result of a healthy infusion of "fact" and "fiction!"
In the "story," so important to a company's profile, just where should the "line" be drawn? 90% fact - 10% fiction or vice versa!
Fiction is weighing heavily on today's market. (90%+) Also as is evident in the selling off of PM equities, fiction is weighing heavily on the psychological profile of investors!
Fact has evidently taken a backseat to fiction!
Separation of the two seems a monumental task.
Is it any wonder when most of what we are "fed" through the media is fiction! We are absorbed in it, addicted to it, focused on it.
The pendulum is about to swing!
Thats a fact!
