>value investors

Just following your logic here, value investors bank on the market's eventual rationality?

Or is it rather that a company who is undervalued for no real reason today might be overvalued for no real reason tomorrow?

If your life savings is invested in one undervalued company then sure, that's pretty risky. If you happen to have a portfolio spread amongst many undervalued companies, then I'd love to be in your shoes no matter what people quote at me.

Thank you. I'm not sure if I'm proud or embarrassed to be an unintentional Keynesian.
