Dr. Brown wrote: "I teach my MBA students that in financial analysis we really don’t care as much about the specific level of a number “snapshot,” but more importantly how the value changes over time." I understand - but by the same token I was wondering, is there a starting point or some level under which it's not interesting (yet) to buy? In other words; Allied Irish Banks is at 2.50%. It might go to 3.00% next week and 3.25% the week after but surely 3.25% also says something, doesn't it? I'm somewhat new to this so my apologies if my question seems naive. Thanks for the article.

I am a retired Professor of Finance and I appreciate the fact that Dr. Brown has an eye on the academic research world as well as the practical world---and is able to reconcile the two to our advantage.
