I think this is a really good answer to OldGuys post
http://www.sharetrader.co.nz/showthr...l=1#post618816 it illustrates the disparity between the views of those who are trading a share and those who are investing in a company.
Investors, possibly those who stake a claim to FA as their investment bias, if we can lump all of them into one category, are probably less likely to be concerned with the day to day share price movements (despite a few whom frequently post here suggesting otherwise).
Whereas Traders, if we can lump anyone who buys weakness and sells strength into a category, are keen on the day to day share price movements and hopefully nimble enough to take advantage.
AIR provides enough characteristics to be an attractive traders share, it is volatile and offers daily spreads between buyer and seller. On the other hand it seems (was?) an attractive investors company offering sustained profitability, EPS and upside into the future.
You couldn't pick a more bi-polar listed company if you tried to, imho. Best to just be sure about your own investing or trading strategy and try not to be overly influenced by the chatter here. Even the best get their comeuppance, whether traders
or investors.
AIR does that, alarmingly regularly.
