Jim Gillies: if you are approaching this as a long-term sport, if you are, I think, approaching it with the proper mindset, which is portfolio returns, not individual stock returns. A stock as a part of your portfolio, portfolio returns are what matter. It becomes a case of portfolio construction and what do you have in your portfolio to mitigate the high-growth names.
I think you welcome days like these, I think you welcome market conditions like this. Because you get a chance to buy your favorite companies, assuming you can make at least a reasonable attempt at what is it worth and why.
You believe that the company at today's much beaten down price is a reasonable number to look for. These are the market conditions you want. You want stocks being sold off because you're getting a better price.
I'll throw a name out there. It's a name I get asked about all the time. It's a higher-risk name even at this level, but AcuityAds, been slapped around. AcuityAds (ATY -0.64%) at four dollars and change is a) still growing and b) at 12 times cash flow, and has a $100 million in the bank. For a company, that's what? $300 million market cap.
But you look at the 52-week high and you look at how much it's been beaten down. To Jim's earlier point, you run away or your inclination is to run away.
Bill Mann: Your inclination is to assume that the market is right.
Gillies: Yeah. What if it is not?
