Guys,
Fundamentals used to have a correlation with the share price, but nowadays, this is not the case. What makes a stock move is sentiments and if that sector is the current flavour of the month.
Have a look at Centrica’s fundamentals, it should be a screaming buy, but the sentiment is not there and this sector is currently unloved and thus not the flavour of the month.
If you speak to most of the professionals, you will see that they have stopped looking at fundamentals since 2007.

Well, there's a reason I call the stock-exchange the "unregulated casino" these days.

Benjamin Graham once said "In the short run, the market is a voting machine but in the long run it is a weighing machine"
Amazon's stock price crashed from $113 in 2000 to $5.51.
AMZN's average annual return in the last 19 years has been 16.29%; that includes the above ~90% price drop.

i wonder what shares are out there now which people believe to be ridiculously overpriced yet will look ridiculously cheap in 7 years time?

i sold both to go all in on AMD though. with intel 7nm mis-steps, they have at least a 1 year clear runway to take market share.

And it's not a share, but while Bitcoin is trading at half its 2017 peak, it's still waaaaay undervalued -- even at >$10,000.

Invest in marijuana stocks which were so boldly advertised in the previous edition of Swissquote periodical but subtly subdued at the moment. So the last edition suggested investing in fabless chip makers |

i can see both sides, but it is one i'm happy to ignore since i have no real knowledge of the car market.
