generally speaking
the market is gambling
the market is made of liars cheats and thieves, smoke and mirrors, dubble dutch overtures that obscure the real metrics, and Disallowed salesmen.
Many a good intention, sold hopes not reality.
most ventures fail
just because it is highly priced, doesn't make it a good investment
even well versed can get fooled by spin
the cash flow report, or the drill head are the truth detectors.

reading the previous annual reports broken promises is good start to check reality.

when you understand that every event is a gamble - you can finally understand risk, and not be swept away by the mis pricing by fools.

minimise risk, or understand the bet at play.
