Some Sunday ramblings.<\/p>\n

When I do appearances on ROB-TV, I have made it clear that I don’t like to talk about the impact on stock prices. I can talk about industry fundamentals, but the stock market behaves in ways that I describe mathematically in terms of second derivatives: the price rises based on people believing that other people will believe the company is a winner. As a result, stock analysis is often a behavioural science. Comments?<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the market responds to news with an immediate jump in the stock price. For example, look at Rogers<\/a> price rise on August 1.<\/p>\n

What I don’t quite understand is what has been been driving TELUS stock over the past week. It is up 10% on the week and about 20% in the past 3 weeks. Are people trading on rumours (or, perhaps inside information) about an income trust, or other fiscal engineering? I suspect it has to be more than the news<\/a> of TELUS’ union firing its president. The reaction seems too gradual for the rise to be due to the August 4 announcement of financial results<\/a> and raising the outlook.<\/p>\n

Thoughts?<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong>
\nSorry for the delay in having today’s posting available. Due to a problem with Blogger<\/a>, postings were not getting published on Sunday morning.<\/span><\/p>\n
