It should and will come as no surprise that fundamentals like valuation basics and sane credit levels have left the building (and securities markets) for some time. Today, we literally invest (i.e. buy and sell) in a veritable market Twilight Zone beyond sight, sound, reason and, well…earnings, profits and cash-flow.
