RE: the paradox- thanx for all the experts' opinions. actually my question was specific to just ONE day and that was friday the 4 aug 06 when SLW's earnings went up 274 % and SP went down by $0.12 / share. i did not ask for long, medium or short term SP behavior. it is a given that most stocks will emulate the market unless there is some special news / development about the company itself. so, that cannot be an influencing factor in case of SLW on friday. i wonder what was?
