Bluefang, I like this image of yours:
The market we seek to dominate is a huge complex three dimensional web, with so many interlocking pieces no one company, not even Mr. Bill can steer it. It moves by fits and starts. One side is jacked up, then the other, then the center, and so on.
A kind of trust matrix.
And Bluefang, price is very much determined by potential - the market's collective assessment thereof. There is no such thing as a real price or real value other than what people are prepared to offer something for and what others are willing to pay.
