Not a CFA like DFV, and not financial advice but here goes. A way to assess what any stock is valued is to take the DCF, but since it's nearly black box to the shareholder for growth companies (no dividend), treat any interest payments

I don't agree with your summary of the greats, you're lumping in scientists with entrepreneurs. If you want revolutionary entrepreneurs in our era, this list is a fairly good summary: http://startupsusa.org/fortune
