Sam, I started looking around on the internet to see if I could find the reason for the differences in the PEs being quoted. Now that I have looked for 15 minutes, I am an expert!<VBG> Apparently, the difference is in the definition of the PE to be used. There are several definitions, but I zeroed in on 2 definitions, "reported earnings" and "operating earnings". Reported gives an answer closer to 20 and operating gives an answer closer to 10.
