peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1tem de acompanhar as outras Explanation: (A ação) tem de «acompanhar» (o movimento) das outras. Chamo a atenção para o facto de, no original, a expressão «catch up» estar entre aspas. A frase deve ser entendida num contexto mais amplo do que o apresentado pela consulente. O autor quer chamar a atenção para um possível erro de avaliação: a cotação de uma ação não tem necesssariamente de subir/descer (subir neste caso) porque outras do sector subiram/desceram ou porque as médias móveis do sector em questão são ascendentes/descendentes. O texto original é o seguinte: And it is furthermore true that in the day-to-day movement of stock prices, it appears that most stocks «move up» or «move down» together. But we should never lose sight of the fact that the averages themselves are abstractions, not railroads, manufacturing companies, airlines, etc. If the averages move, it is because the individual stocks making up the averages have moved. And while it is true that during a time when the averages are advancing, a majority of stocks are also advancing, it is not quite possible to reverse this and make it absolute by saying that because the averages are advancing, therefore all stocks must advance. If we carried this to its logical conclusion, we would arrive at the point (which some have arrived at) where the fact that a stock has not advanced, but has declined in a Bull Market, is considered sufficient to make the stock attractive for purchase on the basis that it must «catch up» with the others. |
