The title of this alert just means the value of something is what the market says it is. It does not mean that value won’t change tomorrow, and it does not mean that if the direction of the market changes tomorrow, it was wrong about today.

I AM SURE GLAD TO SEE THE FIRST QUARTER of 2008 behind us. It seemed as if every couple of days there was more bad economic news. Each announcement was worse than the last. The banks, investment houses, hedge funds, etc. just pumped out the bilges with their financial gray, ...
