Doesn't Perceived value = price and
value = Actual value?
cheers,

Yes, but there is mass confusion between the two concepts.
Consider these two maxims:
The value of something is what someone is prepared to pay for it - folk saying
Price is what you pay, value is what you get - W Buffett
Some people paid $20 for Lehmans recently, but the value was 0

..........buyers
A stock will rise in price when the buyers (or bulls) become more aggressive and willing to pay higher prices.

According to the apes it is only when shorters are banned.
Yeah but what makes a buyer want to buy??
what makes a stock attractive to buyers?
Its it all about EPS in the long run?

LOL yep.....
.personally use many different factors for stock entry . EPS yeah for investments but thats only part of it . entry depends on buyers too also TA , vols , allsorts . also buy for other reasons , take EXT for example , many moons ago when uranium was the best thing since elvis i noticed a lil tinpot next door to rossing and bought just on a nearology factor ... no eps , no cash no nuffing except the fact they were a likely target in the future ..... look whos buying chunks now ......i bought MGX many moons ago based on the fact i could see there stockpile shed from my front porch , was running at a loss but i could see them building at a rate of knots , when i bought tho it was illiquid , unloved and iron ore wasnt bigger than elvis ..... lol im currently holding a few BDM .. hahahah i say . no cash no earnings no nuffing except a smart bunch behind them and moving quietly in the backround doing there thing without a thought for market movement and silly things like that . i bought because i could see a future IF they cvould find a doorway . silly .maybe . but hey each to there own on there choices .. dont know if my ramblings cleared anything up but hey i had to post somthing

How about percieved OPPORTUNITY.
I guess when I buy a stock or a property thats what Ive dome the numbers on---and I feel there is an opportunity to profit.
I'm sure Buffet would say the same of his investment in Hathaway.
