Fair enough ... I am glad it is for you only a small speculative position - and trust it is money you can afford to lose
: Hope the same is true for other holders. If its just for fun - I recon a lotto ticket is more likely to make its owner rich, but hey ... I would not recommend this investment either
Re Craigs ... I assume you realise that 5 wins in a row in a lottery type competition (nobody can predict future stock prices a year away
; are not a statistically meaningful set of data. These things happen from time to time similar to winning streaks in the casino next door. Does not mean though that the winning gambler is particularly skilful in gambling (unless they are cheating) - they just are lucky ... at this particular point in time.
Related to the analyst consensus in market screener (or wherever) - I recommend you take a statistically meaningful number of companies (say 100) and compare for some time their 12 months consensus with the prices these stocks achieve in a years time. Its a bit of effort involved, but the result can be an eye opener.
But better than discussing the reliability of horoscopes (analyst SP forecasts are not more and not less) would be to do some fundamental analysis.
To just justify PPH's current price (based on its current earnings) it would need to keep growing its earnings by 10 to 15 % per year in infinity. They are unlikely to achieve this by increasing their kick back, i.e. they need to consistently increase their customer base. Just wondering where this growth is supposed to come from? Mobile based payment solutions are plenty and growing, while the clientele of the faith industry is consistently shrinking.
Something does not add up ...
