          Oh @paulg. Don't you understand that the shortest route to being seen as a "deep thinker" is to spew antimetabole all over the place? It works. Look at the career of Simon Sinek, for example.

          There's an even shorter route --> criticizing and mocking those who took the risk in publicly sharing a thought.

          Hopefully, the answer is neither or none of the above.

          An item for David Hirshleifer's list of finance fallacies. Take a look, @4misceldah .

          Is it a fallacy, or simply devoid of meaning?

          It's just a terrible adaption of Buffett's "It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price."

          Not according to George Soros in The Alchemy of Finance. Most investors in the market do not know the true value of a stock because they wrongly assume it is based on fundamentals. That's where you make money.

          Ha! I see what you did there. I was referencing "bad price" as paying a higher PE than the industry/competitors.

          Well in this case you are just referring to your risk tolerance. You rather have a good asset (higher ratings/grade/better history) and accept a lower yield rather than one which is more risky with a higher possible yield. Everybody has different risk tolerances.
