LOL yep......personally use many different factors for stock entry . EPS yeah for investments but thats only part of it . entry depends on buyers too also TA , vols , allsorts . also buy for other reasons , take EXT for example , many moons ago when uranium was the best thing since elvis i noticed a lil tinpot next door to rossing and bought just on a nearology factor ... no eps , no cash no nuffing except the fact they were a likely target in the future ..... look whos buying chunks now ......i bought MGX many moons ago based on the fact i could see there stockpile shed from my front porch , was running at a loss but i could see them building at a rate of knots , when i bought tho it was illiquid , unloved and iron ore wasnt bigger than elvis ..... lol im currently holding a few BDM .. hahahah i say . no cash no earnings no nuffing except a smart bunch behind them and moving quietly in the backround doing there thing without a thought for market movement and silly things like that . i bought because i could see a future IF they cvould find a doorway . silly .maybe . but hey each to there own on there choices .. dont know if my ramblings cleared anything up but hey i had to post somthing
