Retail investor: Analysts have a $250 price target on my stock. It's at $180... easy 40% upside.


Me: You know what analysts do when the stock hits $250?
Retail investor: ...celebrate being right?
Me: They raise the target to $300. & when it falls to $120? They cut it to $140... AFTER the drop already happened.
Retail investor: So the targets just chase the price around?
Me: Always have. Price targets are marketing, not real analysis. Nobody's accountable when they're wrong & they're wrong constantly.
Retail investor: Then what do I anchor to instead?
Me: The earnings. A company with great EPS growth, trading below its fair value... that's the real needle mover.
