That is, once an analyst conducts a valuation, he or she tends to believe in that assessment adamantly.<BR/>Thank you.mpchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260935992843595796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8152901575140311047.post-43941227332895703732009-01-30T05:47:00.000-05:002009-01-30T05:47:00.000-05:00Dear Prof DamodaranI thoroughly enjoy reading your...Dear Prof Damodaran<BR/><BR/>I thoroughly enjoy reading your thoughts on the recent developments in the market and its impact on valuation and investments.<BR/><BR/>On a separate note, I have just taken a look at your valuation bias test and would like to find the answers.
