Had a friend tell me to "take a look at SWKS, it's up 45% on the year".

I can't come up with the name, but there is a psychological bias that "comforts" investors about recent performance.

It basically states that an investment is a good investment, "because it's price level has recently appreciated substantially."

If you think rationally about this, the real value in the investment was before the price appreciation, not after.

I'm not saying anything about SWKS, because I frankly don't know anything about the company, but you should realize that you are paying 45% more than you would have this past December. What are the reasons it is so much more expensive?

Oh yeah, no doubt. It's the first thing I thought when he said it

I don't know enough about it either. Just figured I'd ask and see if anyone here had knowledge/experience.
