Why Don't Earnings Matter Anymore?

Einstein and Socialism:
Hitting the nail on the head is what you gentlemen have done. I am long on Potash and several other commodity type or "tied to" stocks that have me down 40% before mediocre gains yesterday. The answer to how long does one remain long for this smallish investor is.....until these stocks return to their rightful places at or near the top of the heap...which they will do if for no other reason than they are great companies by any measurement except the volatility and freakish behaviors of the mkt. from time to time. As nearly everyone knows, when you are down a heap on stocks representing excellent management, high profits, good futures, etc. not too smart to sell because once gone, a very real loss has occurred, not just one on paper.
