I think what Amarin was trying to say, before (s)he was banned, was this.
- Iseq "way down on market value", said Amarain. This caused confusion for some posters..... But it is pretty self-explanatory, I think. Amarain obviously thought the Iseq is undervalued and there are bargains to be had. As it happens, I don't agree.
- "Some stocks 12% below target prices". Can't help out here, I'm afraid. Amarin the company was miles below its Goodbody target price last week, but we all know what happened there. Again, I don't agree that many stocks are significantly below target prices from the brokers. If Amarin was able to post, (s)he might be able to provide some examples?
- "asset vehicle" also caused confusion. Amarin obviously meant 'asset class'. Obvious, no?
- "rate at which private equities are entering the market has to give an indication of its potential value". I believe Amarin was saying that the recent trend in private equity houses purchasing large stakes in Irish-listed companies, or at least attempting to, shows that professional investors see value in Irish stocks.... Therefore, Amarin was probably trying to suggest that if the professionals see value, there must be value. Again I don't agree. Private equity houses influence how companies do business, because they buy stakes large enough to have a say in how the business is run. This can change the potential performance, and hence the earning potential, of a company. But the point is irrelevant to small investors who are unlikely to buy more than a few grand's worth.
