Ray Dopkins: Wow. Investing is just sooo e a s y. Buy low pe's when you have perfect vision of next year's earnings. Buy low pe's vs. high pe's. Who'da known that? No wonder them quant guys is all rich -g-... And I thought it was just from their inflated salaries -g-. Well here's a couple of things this chap missed: 1) Buying stocks with no earnings -- infinite pe. What's that look like? 2)How about checking 18 months out instead of just "next year", so's we can get capital gains break. There's a study out (which I don't have a cite for) that says low pe's don't work that far out -- the high pe's catch up. (Maybe there is a good reason people pay up for earnings -g-). And now a coupla questions for everybody: What's the first quantitative figure or ratio you guys look at when researching a company? And what's the last? I say pe should be last. Paul
