i don't mean to be disrespectful, but the first thing you learn in finance is that earnings don't matter. i could give a number of examples illustrating this point, i.e., is R&D an expense or an investment? the PE ratio can also obscure the prices of shares where debt is used wisely and not at all. remember that value = present value of all future cash flows at any rate, SGI has had a very disappointing return on invested capital, and that is why it's price is so "low". you are correct in portraying SGI as a financial underperformer.
