In the preceding video, Fool.com analyst Austin Smith emphasizes how important it is to be able to recognize and differentiate between a good company at a fair price and and a great company at an outrageous price. By their very nature, markets will inevitably and eventually adjust for overpricing, and when this happens, the correction can deliver a major blow to shareholders.
