That's just so... wrong. I know some investors are going off things like that but doesn't it bother anyone that such an important part of finance depends on people looking at numbers in a totally irrational way? Like, simply not even doing the math. Even on investment sites, I've seen people say "it's crazy that foo is at $20 but bar is at $50". It's as dumb as someone saying they prefer Zimbabwe Dollars cause it's easier to become a trillionaire.
