    I think Macquarie might be a thorn in OCA shareholders side for a while so I reduced a bit of them yesterday. I'll tell myself the ciders pay for the ski lesson and your relativity theory is still a load of rubbish

    Keep updating this chart as it gives me the warm fuzzies when I do

    SUM share price has probably got ahead of itself .... chart suggests it might not go anywhere for a while or go could even drop back into that channel that's been in place for years


    Share price has risen by 25% pa which is pretty good ...even though I believe earnings have grown at a faster rate than this


    Just another lot of nonsense as share price should be 9 bucks ay least some say .....but I do like my chrt... been a long trade this one

    However - no matter what it is - if we assume for arguments sake that Couta's theory holds water, than it does not matter whether we invest into SUM or RYM. According to Couta both will develop with the same velocity - and $1000 invested into RYM will grow as fast as $1000 invested into SUM.

    However if Couta's theory is wrong, than the $ invested in SUM will grow faster. Which means - there is no drawback of investing into SUM ... you either get the same return as with RYM (according to Couta), or a better return (if Couta is wrong).

    Looks different for the people investing into RYM - they either get the same return as the SUM investors, or they get less.

    Given this choice - what possible reason could there be to invest into RYM, if you can put your money as well into an either equal or better performing SUM?

    Given that markets are a chaotic system 2nd order ... just the existence of this thought will increase the buying pressure on SUM, which means that SUM inevitably will outgrow RYM in a rational market ;

    Yes the chief campaigner of that relativity theory just admitted to me that there's no way he'd be a buyer of RYM at $13.30 so QED indeed !
    SUM things make a LOT of sense like your post mate.

    Very profound .... had thought the same but didn't want to upset the apple cart ....and I didn't think rationality applied.


    Suppose your argument applies if both SUM and RYM share prices fall which could result in RYM falling more ...again SUM the better bet as you wouldn't lose as much)

    Maybe in in the short term. As our friend Ben said, in the short term the share market is a voting machine, in the long term it is a weighing machine.

    I’m not interested in the short term.

    I'm quite satisfied as my theorum has stood the test of time for near 6 years and I'm looking forward to the next 6. At the end of that period you guys will just have to accept that there's no point fighting it anymore, have a nice weekend.

    Its easy to look at data and see a pattern, what is useful is its ability to predict the future. Hasn't the theorem been wrong since it was theorised?

    Funnily enough you’re both right.

    Winner is referring to the efficient market hypothesis and how its not worth the paper its written on.

    I think our friend Warren would prefer Ryman. Better to have a good company at a fair price than a fair company at a good price. (He’d like both companies but I think he’d prioritise RYM as he loves predictibility aand a good track record)

    Sage advice from Ben

    But have you considered that with RYM and SUM it’s the weighing machine that’s in play

    Relativity etc been in place quite a long time ...the voters have had their say and the scales have settled down and measuring a fair intrinsic value for both (taking everything into account)

    But I feel you will disagree
