Stocks

[Ephraimh]

If you think they may announce bankruptcy then your investment is "gambling."

Um no, all i was saying is that checking up on a few stock symbols each day is far more practical than to place a limit order with no expiration, regardless of the company strength.

Not necessarily.
Some companies are worth more bankrupt.
(And even if it's not, a company can still have a large amount of assets after bankruptcy.)

ETA: S is currently selling for about half the price of it's total assets (0.57 Price/Book).

If they go bankrupt they'll probably merge with TMUS or someone else, which can be the best thing happening to shareholders in terms of getting the new company shares (i.e. American Airlines)

Every bankruptcy case is different. A judge can just as easily decide to give none of the new shares to the bankrupt stockholders.

Sometimes, not always.
If it was always priced in, Warren Buffett and his teacher wouldn't be millionaire/billionaires.

It's usually the case. millions of people would have been as rich as warren buffet and his teacher otherwise.

So I'm guessing you think Apples real value more than doubled in the past 2 years?
Based on what previously unknown information did the company gain around 400b in market cap?

The answer is simple.

Fools got burned when Apple got ahead of itself at over $700, and the same fools kept preaching not to buy when the valuation was cheap at $400. Now, those same fools think Apple should be at the equivalent of $1400+.

How efficient is a market where the worlds biggest company drops 50% and jumps 300-400% within the span of 2 years, when nothing has changed?
