I have been a longtime lurker on this thread and I do know that Rocky
is often more a troll than just a bear but this ad nauseum reference
to P/Es is getting a little old. Today's Forbes Online has a couple
of good articles (www.forbes.com) on precisely this issue - in this
market, what are the most relevant evaluation metrics? It's a very
good read. Rocky, I hope you take a look at them before you enlighten the readers on this thread about IOM's P/E once more.

Those articles discuss metrics like price-to-book and price-to-cash. Given this last quarter's negative cash flow, I guess more ammunition for the bears. However, the Forbes articles don't mention price-to-sales ratios at all. I'm thinking that in proper context, P/S could be an excellent indicator, and based on that IOM's
price is not really out of whack (about 1.1).
