Question to Stock Experts RE: SVGI valuation.

It is my understanding that a good way to measure a companies current
market valuation (over or underpriced) is to compare its PE with its
expected growth in earnings.

If you check the info at yahoo's quote and research service for SVGI
quote.yahoo.com
you see that its PE is something like 461! That seems to be an order of magnitude too high. Seems like a rip off! Yahoo seems to be at
least in the ballpark when you check other companies PE numbers.

What explains this? Surely they arent planning on 461% earning growth
next year?
