          seller are presumed to be dedicated to achieving the maximum                
          economic advantage.  Id. at 218.                                            
                    2.  Expert Opinions                                               
                    a.  In General                                                    
               In deciding valuation cases, courts often look to the                  
          opinions of expert witnesses.  Nonetheless, we are not bound by             
          the opinion of any expert witness, and we may accept or reject              
          expert testimony in the exercise of our sound judgment.                     
          Helvering v. Natl. Grocery Co., 304 U.S. 282, 295 (1938); Estate            
          of Newhouse v. Commissioner, supra at 217.  Although we may                 
          largely accept the opinion of one party’s expert over that of the           
          other party’s expert, see Buffalo Tool & Die Manufacturing Co. v.           
          Commissioner, 74 T.C. 441, 452 (1980), we may be selective in               
          determining what portions of each expert’s opinion, if any, to              
          accept, Parker v. Commissioner, 86 T.C. 547, 562 (1986).                    
          Finally, because valuation necessarily involves an approximation,           
          the figure at which we arrive need not be directly traceable to             
          specific testimony if it is within the range of values that may             
          be properly derived from consideration of all the evidence.
