Yes. You are right. A great majority of analysts and fund managers are probably only good at interpreting numbers. Owners are the ones who make the numbers happen. Most small/successful businesses owners usually have no clue how much their business is worth and they dont give any thought about valuation. What they do know is how to be run it very successfully and often they do posses very specialized knowledge and skills. The medium and large companies will have a clearer picture as they deal with bankers and analysts.


@Weijian
congrats on your business, the insight provided by being a business owner far exceeds that of an MBA or any investment course. But I beg to differ on the part of being on bailing out. If ample due diligence is done, facts are never wrong. Certain assumptions can be wrong but usually it can be corrected if managed properly most of the time.

If one chooses to bail, the money you have invested/lost in a listed company and the business you created is the same. Except the former you might have less attachment to it due to the ease of buying and selling. But bear in mind all companies will face tough times sooner or later. Conviction, ability to adapt and ability to stomach market cycles is needed in both for what you have invested and what you own/run. I personally do not see much of a difference between the 2.
