Why Share Prices Mislead Most Investors

Why Share Prices Mislead Most Investors

Most investors treat share prices as verdicts on the business. They’re not.

The price you see is simply the last transaction cleared — often representing less than 1% of outstanding shares. Yet millions react as if it’s a complete assessment of the company’s fundamentals.

A –15% drop doesn’t mean the business collapsed. A +20% spike doesn’t mean it suddenly improved.

Price tells you what others think. Business fundamentals tell you what’s real.

You don't build conviction from price movements. You build it from understanding the business.
