Google Answers is a service where a research request can be posted with a price, and then people on the web can do the research and submit the results. A while back I thought I would give Google Answers a try, mostly to see how the process went, but also because I was genuinely curious about this question:
Where is the “bottom” in the stock market? I realize that it is basically all driven by hype, psychology, etc now, but in theory, what is being traded? Why would/should a corporation’s performance theoretically affect the value of it’s [sic] share [sic]? is it something to do with what happens if the corporation dissolved [sic]?
You can see the entry and the responses it generated here.
When I got the first response, I had basically full confidence in what elids said. elids seemed reasonably knowledgable, and was certainly very confident and enthusastic. Then elwtee comes on the scene and shakes everything up with a completely different answer! elwtee seems just as knowledgable and self-assured as elids!
It makes me wonder about who these two people are, what their motivations are, and what they do with their time. Keep in mind that these were both left as comments to the question and not submitted as answers, so they aren’t in it for the money.
