re: NWS: Ah nuts! I'm not happy with the numbers I put out. Knight Ridder pe I got from industry comparison at Media General. Can't be a pe of 11 if stock is at 50 and expected to earn 2.4+. Media General info must be in error or very outdated. In which case...the Mailman's post is correct on that point... I have not found a stock in the industry which trades at similar pe to NWS (11+). Value Line shows book of about 10 -- far diff. from what I saw using 2 on-line sources. Not sure, but there may be some subordinated convertible preferred that have recently been issued that are included in VL's numbers, not accounted for in Yahoo/WSJ. Drat! I hate it when my screening sources are misleading and I get misled. (Assuming here that VL has the "correct" BV number.)
